Martin Champoux Bloc Québécois
“The Prime Minister keeps ignoring Parliament's rules and traditions. This bill goes too far, and it hurts our democracy. My party and the Conservatives will try to fix it in committee. But I worry the government will use its majority to ignore our ideas. I want to know if my colleague shares this worry.”
“Madam Speaker, I thank my Conservative colleague for his remarks, his comments and his speech. Since he was elected in 2025, we have seen this Prime Minister acting as if he could not care less about parliamentary procedure. He has his objective, so he is going ahead and trampling on just about every established procedure and tradition, and that is very worrisome. This bill raises some serious concerns about democracy. My colleagues talked about this earlier. Yes, this bill will end up in committee. Yes, the Conservatives and the Bloc Québécois will make suggestions to improve this bill as much as possible, since it goes much too far in many areas. We have been pointing that out from the beginning. However, this government, with its arrogant attitude and its manufactured majority, will probably adopt the same attitude in committee. I would like to know whether my colleague agrees with me and whether he shares my concern that the work we will have to do on this very serious bill, with its far-reaching consequences, will ultimately amount to very little progress in committee because of this arrogant government.”
