Yves Perron Bloc Québécois
“The government is taking too much control over committee work and meeting in secret. I want the Liberals to stop acting like this and work fairly with other parties.”
“Mr. Speaker, I must first commend my colleague on the quality of her French. It is exemplary. She seems very nice. The government’s authoritarian tendencies are worrisome indeed. I hope that the Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government is paying close attention and will perhaps take the opportunity to reassure us on that score. Now that I am my party’s whip, I oversee all the committees. Having read our member’s reports, I know that the government is quick to convene in camera and clean house. The government is in the process of taking back control of the order of precedence. I hope that this feverish activity is temporary, the result of having recently secured a majority through backroom deals, and that the Liberals will become reasonable again. Asking that an open hand be extended comes off well in public, but accepting that hand is another matter.”
