“Mr. Speaker, when the hon. Minister of Justice says we have a very small window to push through legislation, that is entirely due to the government’s decision to adjourn two days early. I wish the government had come to me and asked how I would feel about staying later this summer to properly study bills and not push through the destruction of pesticide regulations in an omnibus budget bill. I know it is not the minister’s problem, but we are being pushed to the last minute and told we could not debate something as important as the Senate amendments to Bill C‑14. I opposed Bill C‑14. It was never passed unanimously, contrary to what the Liberal deputy House leader said. It was on division because members like me, who are not in a recognized party, cannot even stand up and scream “no” when they decide to vote on division.”
