Martin Champoux Bloc Québécois
“The Prime Minister has not improved people's lives. The government is passing bills that hurt workers' rights and ignore Parliament. I want to know if my colleague agrees that the government has gone too far.”
“Mr. Speaker, Quebec has been in the midst of an election campaign these past few weeks. I spent a lot of time on the campaign trail with candidates for the Parti Québécois, the party I support, and people talked to me about federal politics and about the current Prime Minister. I asked everyone who spoke to me about what the Prime Minister has actually done since taking office to make their lives easier and improve their purchasing power. No one was able to give me an answer. No one was able to tell me how their lives have improved since this Prime Minister took office. What is more, here in Parliament, the Liberals are passing bills that undermine the work of Parliament and its relevance. Bill C-39 is a good example of that. It makes it even easier for the government to implement its major projects, and it erodes workers’ rights. I will cut my question short because I am short on time. Does my colleague not think that this government is going way too far and that it should go back to showing some respect for parliamentary procedure?”
