Frank Caputo Conservative
“The government is rushing this bill through Parliament instead of working with us. We support the first part of the bill to put criminals in jail, and we would pass it quickly. But experts and Canadians have serious questions about the second part. Why is the government forcing the second part through without answering them?”
“Mr. Speaker, “collaboratively” is the word used by the Minister of Public Safety as to how he would work with Conservatives on Bill C-22 amendments, and yet the government is insisting on using its manufactured majority to now ram this bill through Parliament. Make no mistake: Conservatives want to put the bad folks in jail. We would pass part 1 of the bill swiftly, but Canadians have questions and experts have questions, and we think those questions should be answered with respect to part 2. Why is the Liberal government insistent on ramming Bill C-22 and part 2 through when we would gladly pass part 1 swiftly?”
