Tamara Kronis Conservative
“This bill is very long and complex, but we have only debated it for three and a half hours. Can my colleague talk about how hard it is to properly debate this bill when the government wants to cut off debate?”
“Madam Speaker, the member spoke to one aspect of the 330‑page bill, which has 16 divisions plus the Defence Investment Agency. He was just asked a question about a different part, presumably, of the bill. Could my colleague speak to the difficulty for members of the House to be able to address the bill in a meaningful way when we have only had three and a half hours of debate, and the government is trying to shut down debate on it, given the complexity and the length of the bill?”
