117 words · 9 sentences · 9 clauses

Replying to Dan Albas (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, in Bill C‑15, the government granted Alto new powers to expropriate privately owned land. In Bill C‑39, the government is granting itself new powers to allow preliminary work to benefit the Alto project. What does the Bloc Québécois member think about that? Did the Bloc Québécois support these proposed new powers for Alto, or did it oppose them?”

Mr. Speaker, Thanks · 15 wordsI sincerely thank my colleague for making an effort to ask his question in French.Thanks Claims · 102 wordsWhen it comes to the government giving itself new powers, that is exactly what it is doing with Bill C‑39.¹ That is also what it did with Bill C‑5.² As I have shown, power is being centralized within the executive branch. The government is giving itself new powers. There is no longer any accountability. We see this in the government’s approach to workers’ rights, for instance. The government is effectively eliminating the opportunity for debate. Too often, in the interest of expediting projects, it is clear that the government is more interested in giving itself new powers than in genuinely consulting communities.Unearned certainty
