Bloc Québécois on Government Orders 2026-04-23

64 words · 3 sentences · 5 clauses

Replying to Alexis Brunelle-Duceppe (Bloc Québécois)

“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister keeps saying that he wants to manage public finances in a wiser, more rigorous way. A House of Commons committee spent hours studying an extremely important report. The committee heard from experts and victims. Members of Parliament and their staff, as well as the committee staff, examined the matter during several meetings. Public funds were used for the benefit of parliamentary democracy. Now we are learning that the government is completely ignoring all the work that was done. This government is not looking at it at all. I would like my colleague to comment on the frustration this caused him. What does he think this all means? What does all this show about the government’s understanding of parliamentary democracy?”
