Replying to Martin Champoux (Bloc Québécois)
“Madam Speaker, I actually get the sense that Stephen Harper was more to the left than the current Prime Minister. The more time goes by, the more the measures this Prime Minister is putting in place that make me think that the Conservatives are jealous that he is not on the right side of the House based on his political stripes. Bill C‑39, which we analyzed with our teams, as I am sure the Conservatives did as well, contains things that seek to destroy or circumvent the laws that are there to protect the public, the environment and workers. I do not know what the Conservatives find in this bill that deserves support, aside from the fact that it goes way too far. I want to hear my colleague’s thoughts on the fact that we have a government that is proposing legislation that, in my opinion, goes beyond even what Conservatives have been calling for for years.”

Madam Speaker, Claims · 61 wordsthe member is certainly right that there are concerns with the legislation. A major concern with the legislation is it is not going to deliver what it says it is going to deliver. We saw that in the past. We see that with the Major Projects Office.1 We see that with Bill C-5.2 Now we see it potentially with Bill C-39. Promise · 54 wordsAs I said before, we are going to take the time to scrutinize the legislation and look for pieces in the legislation that we can improve.Vague promise Once it gets to that legislative committee, we are going to propose the amendments necessary to actually get shovels in the ground instead of promises into people’s pockets.Vague promise
