“Mr. Speaker, I am wondering if we could go right to the point of Bill C-10 and what the member seems to be focused on, in terms of parliamentary accountability. Bill C-10 sets into place an independent agent of Parliament on a critically important issue, in terms of modern-day treaty agreements. At the end of the day, I am wondering if the member could provide his thoughts in regard to how it takes away from accountability when there is an independent agent of Parliament providing reports on what the government is or is not doing? How does that take away from accountability?”

Mr. Speaker, Procedure · 5 wordsthere is a lot there.ProcedurePositioning · 34 wordsOftentimes what we see with the government is efforts to defer things that it is responsible for to external bodies when the authority and the ability to act is in the hands of ministers.PositioningReasoning · 63 wordsAgain, I would say the issue here is whether the government has fulfilled its obligations.There is a lot of consensus that the government has failed in this regard.Rather than fix the fundamental problems, the government is offering to create another commissioner, who is not actually going to have the power to solve these problems but who is going to do studies.1Positioning · 34 wordsIt is this constant sort of Liberal industry of wanting to fund external activism or external review rather than actually fixing the core problems that the government has the power and responsibility to fix.PositioningProcedure · 4 wordsThat is the issue.Procedure
