Steven MacKinnon Liberal
“Conservatives spent today reading the exact same question over 30 times. Here is the schedule for the House. Today we will finish debating the Conservative motion. Tomorrow and next Wednesday we will debate our economic update bill. On Monday we will debate a bill to update the military justice system. Next Tuesday and Thursday are opposition days.”
“Mr. Speaker, people watching at home know that Conservative Party members asked literally the exact same question about 32 or 33 times today, written by their leader and handed to them. They were instructed to simply repeat what their leader says. I think that anyone who works as hard as we do to get into the House of Commons should be able to expect more than simply reading the Leader of the Opposition’s cue cards. Of course, we will continue to work with the opposition, and with all members of the House, in the most transparent and open manner possible to advance the issues that matter most to Canadians. This afternoon, we will continue our consideration of the Conservative Party’s opposition day motion. Tomorrow, we will begin second reading debate of Bill C-30, the spring economic update 2026 implementation act, which contains a lot of good news for Canadians. On Monday, we will resume consideration at report stage of Bill C-11, the military justice system modernization act. On Wednesday of next week, we shall return to second reading debate of Bill C-30, the spring economic update 2026 implementation act, and all of its good news for Canadians. Finally, Tuesday and Thursday of next week shall be allotted days.”
