Conservative on Commissioner for Modern Treaty Implementation Act 2026-09-21

69 words · 4 sentences · 5 clauses

Replying to Kevin Lamoureux (Liberal)

“Madam Speaker, the member talked about meeting and honouring obligations. I wonder if the member can explain to me how Bill C-10 would prevent that from happening. I see it as a strong positive to have an independent agent of Parliament who is tracking those obligations and then reporting them, as an independent. I would think that would be a positive.”
