Yves Perron Bloc Québécois
“The Prime Minister is rushing this bill through to stop MPs and the public from noticing abuses of power in it. He should respect Parliament and democracy.”
“Mr. Speaker, bad projects do not deserve support. The Prime Minister has a majority. He spends the majority of his time travelling, but he also has a majority in the House. All of his bills are guaranteed to pass. All he is doing with these repeated time allocation motions is preventing MPs from doing their job. All he is doing is trying to push things through so quickly that civil society does not realize what is happening. The reason the Prime Minister is rushing so much is to keep people from noticing the deregulation and abuse of power hidden within his laws. Why is the Prime Minister incapable of respecting Parliament and democracy?”
