“I'm not happy with how the government is acting. Even though they didn't win a majority, they're taking credit for all the hard work done in committee. My Conservative friends helped make this bill better with amendments. But now the government is just ignoring all that work and acting like they have all the power. The voters wanted a government that would work with others and build consensus. The government shouldn't just throw out the amendments that were agreed on by everyone. That's not right.”
