Yves Perron Bloc Québécois
“Cutting red tape is not the same as getting rid of legal and social protections. The government is removing these protections just to allow oil projects. Conservatives should be happy about this, because it is what they usually want.”
“Madam Speaker, I would like to start by thanking my colleague and congratulating him on his remarkable efforts in French. It is heartwarming. I would really like to see more people doing that. It works both ways. He mentioned red tape. There is, however, a subtle difference between cutting red tape and scrapping laws and social protections. What the government is doing is scrapping laws and social protections. We generally agree that red tape is an issue when regulations overlap with other regulations again and again. I do not understand why the Conservatives are unhappy with what the Liberals are doing. I thought they would be happy: The Liberals are scrapping all the laws to allow for oil infrastructure projects. I thought they would be happy.”
