Vincent Ho

Conservative on Government Business No. 12—Proceedings on Bill C-30 2026-06-15

81 words · 6 sentences · 6 clauses

Replying to John-Paul Danko (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, I want to point out that there is a difference between good faith, constructive criticism and whatever it is the member does on a regular basis. Everything is a conspiracy and everything is division, fear, anger and hyperbolic nonsense. Frankly, it is sad and it is embarrassing. Would the member acknowledge that Canada is not broken and that, in fact, our government is doing exactly what it was elected to do?”
