Replying to Elizabeth May (Green)
“Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Repentigny for his excellent speech. Now, for the other Liberal MPs who may have forgotten, it is not just a question of Bill C-39. There is also Bill C-5 from 2025, which currently suspends certain Canadian laws and gives cabinet the power to repeal other laws that get in the way. Bill C-5 remains unchanged, then we have Bill C-39 and, now, they add in regions of national interest. Obviously that is not the only provision in Bill C-39. There are other areas for improvement, because they render Canada’s other laws weak and ineffective. I simply want to ask my colleague whether it is possible to envisage improving anything in Bill C-39 while, at the same time, addressing the disaster that is Bill C-5.”
