Andrew Lawton Conservative
“The Liberals have introduced four bills that try to censor people. All of these bills take away Canadians' rights. We must protect freedom and fight against the government's record of limiting it.”
“Mr. Speaker, I recall that in one of my earlier interventions in this House, I wanted to do a history of Liberal censorship, but I had only 20 minutes and I knew I would run out of time. We have now seen four iterations of the online harms act: Bill C-8, Bill C-22, Bill C-11 and Bill C-18. It may sound like I am rhyming off numbers in a bingo game, but all of these bills would restrict the rights of Canadians. I mentioned censorship, and the Minister of Public Safety appeared. It is like Beetlejuice. At the end of the day, we all have to stand firm for freedom in this House and this chamber. We need to fight against 10 years of a Liberal record of pushing against it.”
