“I want this bill to go to committee so we can clarify key parts of it. Parliament needs to focus on practical work that helps the economy run properly, especially as the government builds a new pipeline along the Trans Mountain route.”
“Madam Speaker, I have yet to review the Hansard from the Senate on Bill S-3. I will acknowledge that. However, from my preliminary reading of this legislation, it is very clear that a couple of key portions of it can be properly clarified in Parliament for the well-being of Canada, especially as the government pursues a new pipeline along the existing route of the Trans Mountain pipeline. That will touch upon other pieces of the legislation, like the Fisheries Act, for example, which requires legislative reviews in Parliament that I do not necessarily believe have all taken place according to their scheduled reviews. Let this bill be a wake-up call for Parliament that sometimes we need to get down to the messy but important business of making sure that our country functions in a way that is responsible for all Canadians, and that sometimes we need to leave politics completely outside of it but do our very best to make sure the economy is humming and our weights and measures are all aligned so people can make money and live a better life.”
