163 words · 6 sentences · 9 clauses

Replying to Martin Champoux (Bloc Québécois). The question was off topic, so this reply is judged against the bill.

“Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate my colleague from Saskatoon West on his speech. I have a question for him. I assume this government is pushing its bills through under closure because it is afraid that too much debate would lay bare its failures so far. This government and this Prime Minister were elected on the promise of standing up to Donald Trump and his tariff and economic threats. I will give my colleague from Saskatoon West all the time he needs to list all the victories this government has achieved against Donald Trump since it was elected just over a year ago. I would like to hear them all. He can take all the time he needs.”
