Kelly DeRidder Conservative
“The Liberals are using these rules to shut down committees. They can now force meetings to be secret so Canadians cannot hear our debates. I want people to watch how often this happens.”
“Mr. Speaker, the Bloc member is absolutely right that this is a way to shut down committees. Currently, filibustering is being used to make sure we are not able to put our motions forward, but another thing that is going to happen that Canadians are unaware of is that a motion can be put forward by the Liberals to go in camera, and it is going to stifle our conversations even more. I would like Canadians, when they watch committees, to note how many times this happens moving forward.”
