“I want to attack the other party's motives. I'm going to throw out criminal accusations to make them look bad. I don't like how they're ignoring voters.”

Government Orders
A bill to create new criminal offenses for promoting hatred and intimidating people at religious or community sites. During discussion, members mostly argued about unrelated partisan disputes and parliamentary tactics, rather than the substance of the bill.
“Liberals don't care about democracy. They only want power. Liberals took MPs with different beliefs just to get a majority. They want power just because. They shut down debate and hide documents. Now they want a supermajority on committees. The Prime Minister doesn't respect his own MPs. He just wants control. This is bad for democracy. We need to fight this abuse of power.”
“You are upset we are talking to our voters. You had your chance to talk to them too. I'll embarrass you again if you want. You are very bad. People are mad at you.”
“A teenager was stabbed. It's sad. The families are sad. But the government isn't paying attention to this real problem. I want the government to focus on this instead of wasting time on other things.”
“I say a nice word about those sad families. Then I talk a lot about how government is slow and messy because a lot of people need to agree on things. My party is very responsible. We did our part to help make things work. But now the government wants to make the rules so it can just do whatever it wants. That's bad. Canadians didn't vote for the government to ignore everyone else.”
“I agree that trust in government is important and weak. The current government has made people trust it less for many years. It hides information. It tries to change rules to keep its own power. People feel like that government doesn't listen to them. We should make government act better so people trust it again.”
“You're wrong. The Liberals didn't really win. People voted for MPs, not the party. The House isn't what Canadians wanted. I don't like the Liberals. They're a circus. Their new MP has bad views. He shouldn't agree with that.”
“You set committees to 60% Liberal instead of the 51% this government actually won. Are you shutting down opposition completely, or do you have some other sneaky reason?”
“I want to argue that the other party is attacking democracy. They betray voters and don't allow enough debate. A past leader grabbed someone. We should get to lead some committees and they shouldn't get to decide what we can debate. This is about transparency. They tax and spend too much without asking us. They call us obstructing when they don't want to show the budget. I'm mad they want to decide things without asking me.”
