Tamara Kronis Conservative
“We should slow down and not rush this bill through. It gives too much power to cabinet. We need time to hear what Canadians think about it first.”
“Madam Speaker, I think there are a lot of provisions in this bill that are quite flabbergasting and that do exactly the kinds of things the member is talking about in terms of transferring an immense amount of power to cabinet. Again, it may be that that is what Canadians want at this time. I would like to see us get the opportunity to really hear from Canadians and give them the chance to reflect on this bill, understanding what it actually says, so that we can represent them appropriately instead of trying to respond to something that is being rammed through the House, again.”
