“I support this proposal. It respects voters and rebuilds trust by following the traditions and rules of Parliament.”
“Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague and I have very different views on what it means to respect the people. I think that respecting the electorate, respecting the people, means respecting the traditions, precedents, norms and rules of our democratic institutions. I think that fighting the public cynicism that he mentioned means standing up and standing together for our democratic institutions. I think that today’s proposal is a step in that direction.”
