Replying to Alexis Brunelle-Duceppe (Bloc Québécois)
“Mr. Speaker, in a response he gave earlier to my colleague from Saint‑Hyacinthe—Bagot—Acton, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government said how important House of Commons committees are, going so far as to say that we can read everything that is said in committee because it is all on the committee’s web page and, as parliamentarians, we have access to all the work done by committees, even if we do not sit on them. I find it rather ironic that the parliamentary secretary is telling us how important parliamentary committees are when the Liberals do not even respect the work that was done by all the parliamentarians who were present, regardless of party, and by all the people who came to testify. I want to know what my colleague thinks of the Liberals’ conception of parliamentary democracy and committee work, especially as it relates to us today.”

Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 5 wordsthat is an excellent question.ProcedurePositioning · 80 wordsI think that, like me, my colleague sees the Liberals as having a disregard for democracy.Unearned certaintyThey have no respect for opposition parties, even though we make constructive proposals to improve legislation in the interest of all Canadians.That is what the opposition parties did together.The members opposite are rejecting our proposals out of hand, and we cannot get a rational explanation for it, other than that it seems to be based on an ideology or goodness knows what.PositioningUnearned certainty
