Kelly McCauley Conservative
“The government promised to stop using huge bills that cover many different laws at once. This bill is one of those huge bills, changing labour rules, conservation rules, and other things. I am asking my colleague if this bill should be split up.”
“Mr. Speaker, the speech by my colleague from Ponoka—Didsbury was excellent. I learned a lot from it. He is a past conservation officer, and I certainly appreciate the points he made. The Liberal government previously stated that there would be no more omnibus bills because they were an undemocratic practice. I am wondering if, considering that the bill is a massive omnibus bill that would change the Labour Code and quite a few other things, including conservation, the colleague thinks that perhaps the bill should be broken out and not delivered to Canadians as an omnibus bill.”
