The question · 29 words I would like the parliamentary secretary to the government House leader to tell us whether he truly believes that this is the way to strengthen public trust in Parliament. Claims · 30 words What his government is currently doing is just the opposite: It is quashing debate by resorting to time allocation for one bill after another and even for the economic update.3 The question · 19 words I would like my college to tell me explicitly whether he thinks this will strengthen public trust in Parliament.
