Gabriel Ste-Marie Bloc Québécois
“This new water bill ignores the improvements we made to the older version. Why did the government drop those changes? I want to know if we will have to redo all that committee work.”
“Mr. Speaker, there is something that struck me in my colleague’s speech. He said that Bill C‑37 did not take into account the work that was done on Bill C‑61 in committee, where improvements were made. My colleague gave us a lot of examples of that. Why does he think the government did not keep these improvements? Is it just complacency? Is it because the government is not doing its homework? Does my colleague believe that all the work done in committee on Bill C‑61 will have to be redone and repeated for Bill C‑37?”
