“I support having an independent commissioner for modern treaties. I want the Conservatives to say clearly whether they support having one or not.”
“Mr. Speaker, I am interested in knowing where the Conservative Party lies on this issue. Having a commissioner, as an independent parliamentary officer, would be a very positive step forward. As I have listened to Conservatives speak on the legislation, they have waffled on whether having a commissioner would be a good thing or a bad thing. My question is very specific. Given the nature and importance of the modern treaties, does the Conservative Party support having that independent commissioner?”
