Mike Dawson

Conservative on Budget 2025 Implementation Act, No. 2 2026-11-04

Replying to Alexis Deschênes (Bloc Québécois)

“Mr. Speaker, I have a question for my colleague. We can agree that Bill C‑31 covers a great many things. There is one part that particularly bothers me. It is that public servants will be allowed to make mistakes. One of the divisions of Bill C‑31 introduces a new form of immunity. What does that immunity mean? It means that if a citizen has been wronged, they cannot sue a public servant, an official or an employee if the mistake was made in good faith. That means it allows incompetence, it allows mediocrity, and citizens are being stripped of their rights. What does my colleague think about that?”

Mr. Speaker, the member wants to know why we oppose this agency. He should look at the Liberal record. Fighter jets took decades and are still not settled. The Snowbirds are grounded until the 2030s. Canada is known for a lot of things. We are not known for success in Liberal defence procurement. The Defence Investment Agency has been operating for over a year, with signing ceremonies and preferred partner announcements, but not a single new piece of equipment has been delivered to the Canadian Armed Forces.
