“We should not rush this bill through Parliament. Passing it quickly ignores democracy and stops us from properly studying it.”
“Mr. Speaker, I am glad the hon. member for Hamilton West—Ancaster—Dundas respects my experience in this place because I started, our very first days together, sitting in that corner, trying to acquaint him with standing orders about heckling. I do believe that when I say “move fast”, what I mean is ignoring the requirements of democracy that bills be adequately considered before they are passed. I will remind him, as the hon. former minister of the environment has reminded other Liberals, that climate change was mentioned 28 times in the platform of the hon. member and pipelines were not mentioned once.”
