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

123 words · 4 sentences · 7 clauses

Replying to Grant Jackson (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, it always amazes me that the theme for the government should be that someday they will get it done, and that member is certainly no exception to that rule. He is in charge of planning for the government, in terms of the House schedule, as is the House leader he serves. That member has been elected in this House since 2010. There is nothing new on the Liberal benches about that member. In fact, I was 13 years old when that member was first elected to this place, and he has not figured out by now that summer comes every year, midway through June, and that they need to plan accordingly to get their legislative agenda through. When exactly does that member think he is finally going to get ahead on the planning of the legislative agenda to get the government’s legislation finished in this place?”

Ultimately, they then try to blame the government for the poor actions of the official opposition, and in particular those of the leader of the official opposition’s office, and the tactics that they use.PositioningOff point
