Marilène Gill Bloc Québécois
“We need more time to study this properly instead of rushing it through in a few weeks. I also question why we need a special committee when the regular committee can already do this work.”
“Mr. Speaker, we want to be responsible, reasonable and rigorous, as I said at the outset. These are the three “Rs”. We find that doing all this work in just a few days or a few weeks is asking the committee, and even the government, to work too quickly. We believe that we need time to understand, consult and reflect. That is one of the things I think we can talk about. The whole issue of the special committee is another thing I mentioned. I think it is fair to ask what it is that a special committee can do that the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs cannot. Of course, we can always talk about that. We have these questions and concerns because we want to be productive and because we do not want to engage in partisan politics.”
