Government Business No. 12—Proceedings on Bill C-30
A procedural debate about limiting debate on a government bill. The Liberal speaker justified it by accusing the opposition of delaying and filibustering in committee. Opposition members argued they were just scrutinizing the bill and that the government keeps limiting debate in the House too. Some also debated the substance of the bill in question and whether it helps or hurts certain groups, but most statements focused on the procedural disagreement.
“I think the government is rushing this bill. We've only debated the programming motion for an hour. The government says it was elected to do this, but pipelines weren't even mentioned in their platform. Dangerous pesticides are being approved for economic reasons with no real debate. The government shouldn't push this through without proper discussion.”
