Guillaume Deschênes-Thériault Liberal
“I want this bill passed without delay. Our treaty partners are waiting for it. The Conservatives seem hesitant, so I am asking the Bloc Québécois to push them not to slow this bill down.”
“Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome my colleagues back to Parliament. The modern treaty implementation bill has clear support and key partners. Our government evidently wants the bill to be implemented efficiently. According to my colleague’s speech, the Bloc Québécois shares that desire. However, there seems to be more hesitation from the official opposition. I would like to ask my colleague whether her party, which is also part of the opposition, will continue to put pressure on the official opposition to ensure that no procedural delays or tactics are used to further delay the passage of this bill. I think it is time to pass it. There are clear expectations from the treaty partners. I would like to hear her thoughts on that.”
