“Mr. Speaker, I want to hear my colleague’s thoughts on the government’s attitude. The government did not win a majority in the election, yet, thanks to floor crossers, it is laying claim to all the work done over several days in committee by the members who heard from witnesses. There were amendments to which my Conservative colleagues contributed in order to improve this bill. Now we have a government that has decided to throw out all the committee’s work and disregard the will of the voters, who said that they wanted a government that would not just represent a dominant majority and ignore everyone else. Instead, they voted for representation that would work through consensus in the House. Does the member agree that the committee should throw out amendments that were developed in consultation with the other parties through a consensus-building process?”
