Bloc Québécois on Combatting Hate Act 2026-06-15

92 words · 6 sentences · 9 clauses

Replying to Lori Idlout (Liberal)

“Uqaqtittiji, I am glad that the hon. member mentioned the importance of reinstating the Attorney General’s consent before charges proceed. I wonder if he could explain why that oversight is so important, especially given that we are being told, during these debates, about Conservatives doing this and Liberals doing that. Could he expand on why making sure that there is AG consent is so important and how appropriate oversight is particularly important in this kind of legislation?”
