Discussion · Government Orders
Pat Kelly Conservative
“We have only debated this large bill for about three hours. I want to know if the member thinks we should actually debate and fix bills, or just cheer for whatever the government does.”
“Madam Speaker, the bill covers a lot of ground and has been debated for only about three hours. If the member thinks that is sufficient, does he believe that the House is a debating chamber where legislators debate relevant legislation with an aim to improve it, or does he believe that the chamber is merely an audience for people to clap and cheer for those things that are put before it by the current government?”
