Liberal on Building Canada Strong Act 2026-10-06

Replying to Dan Albas (Conservative)

“Madam Speaker, I certainly appreciate the member’s comments regarding the CTA. It does excellent work, and I agree that we should be supporting our workers. One of the things we can do is support workers by showing that the government has the balance right. Under section 4.2 of the Department of Justice Act, the Minister of Justice is legally required to table a charter statement for every single government bill. The Liberals like to say that they are the party of the charter. Does the member support everyone pulling together and asking the Minister of Justice to table a simple charter statement, so that the committee that is charged with studying Bill C-39 can do its work properly?”
