Madam Speaker, Thanks · 15 words I thank my colleague for making an effort to speak in the language of Molière. Thanks Positioning · 9 words I grant that French is not an easy language. Positioning Procedure · 40 words It is a very broad question that may go beyond today’s topic, but it is still related to it. Unfortunately, we know the Liberals have a history of broken and unfulfilled promises, as my colleague, the member for Drummond, mentioned. Procedure Claims · 16 words We have been waiting for the $600 million they promised for the cultural sector for months.1 Positioning · 32 words It is also very much the government’s style to break with tradition, even though that tradition has, in fact, been typical of the Liberals on a number of issues, like the environment. Positioning Claims · 17 words After all, the current Prime Minister is the former UN special envoy on climate action and finance.2 Positioning · 23 words What we are seeing in Bill C‑39 when it comes to protecting the environment is nothing more than broken promises and shattered illusions.
