Replying to Mario Beaulieu (Bloc Québécois)
“Mr. Speaker, earlier, I asked why we are not debating this issue at the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs. I was told that it got shut down. My Bloc colleague who serves on the committee told me that, to her knowledge, this was not true and that the motion for a study had simply been moved. The committee met this morning and the motion was not brought forward again. If the government agreed to study this issue in committee, would the Conservatives also agree to do that, rather than appointing a special committee?”

Mr. Speaker, Thanks · 19 wordsI appreciate the question from the Bloc member about whether this could be studied at the indigenous affairs committee.Thanks Claims · 45 wordsWith the regime that the current power-brokered Liberal government has now installed at committees with its majority, it is shuttering committees. Any question as to the government’s integrity is shut down, turned in camera and voted against by the majority Liberal membership on these committees. Positioning · 18 wordsI do not trust the Liberal government to allow any of this discussion to take place at committee.Positioning
