Garnett Genuis Conservative
“We are not blocking this bill. We agreed to a plan that lets us debate it and still pass it quickly. We support the tax cuts in this bill, but we want them to go further.”
“Mr. Speaker, there is no obstruction and, respectfully, I think the member should have a conversation with his own House leader about the process that is happening here. The agreement has already been established in terms of the processes around this legislation. It is designed to give members an opportunity to debate and share their perspectives and also to allow the legislation to move forward in a timely way. I assume the House of Commons offers resources in terms of some of the procedural mechanisms that exist if members want to avail themselves of some of that information, but again, I am sure his House leader would be available to explain that. We are supportive of the changes in this legislation. We wish they would go further, of course, as we have said repeatedly.”
