Mel Arnold

Conservative on Strong and Free Elections Act 2026-06-11

70 words · 3 sentences · 4 clauses

Replying to Arielle Kayabaga (Liberal)

“Earlier, Mr. Speaker, the member’s colleague who sits on committee with me said he feels we are not listening. I talked about the fact that we did extensive collaboration. This is one of the most fast-tracked bills that I personally have witnessed since I have been a member of Parliament, because of the expert input we brought on and the collaboration that happened between all parties in the House. Can the member comment on what exactly in this bill the Conservatives cannot support and what they can support?”

The ask · 20 wordsIf anything, this has to be the one piece that should have been addressed, and the government should recognize that.
