Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 19 words I am not happy to rise to my feet, but I do have an interesting question about Bill C-9. Procedure Claims · 12 words The Liberals talk about all the hate and mistreatment of other people. An hon. member: Oh, oh! Warren Steinley: Positioning · 22 words Mr. Speaker, the member from northern Saskatchewan can beak all he wants, but this is a serious question about a serious bill. Positioning Claims · 13 words There has been such a rise in hate over the last 10 years, The question · 55 words and who has been in government? Why are people so much more angry? Is it the fact that the Liberal government trampled rights and freedoms when it froze people’s bank accounts?1 Was it the fact that it brought police into Ottawa to tamp down a peaceful protest of people wanting their own choice on vaccines?2 Positioning · 31 words The government has been the most divisive government in the history of Canada. It divided east versus west and rural versus urban, and people have had enough. That is the frustration. Positioning The question · 19 words Should the government not take a bit of responsibility for what is happening on the streets under its watch? Positioning · 22 words It has brought this to the point where people are so frustrated with how they have been treated, and they want answers. Positioning
