Democratic Institutions

In question period on democratic institutions, Bloc Québécois members said the Liberal government is repeatedly cutting off debate on its bills despite having a majority, asking whether it is rushing legislation through and concentrating power in cabinet. The Bloc specifically objected to closure on Bill C-22, which it described as allowing surveillance of citizens, seizure of data without authorization and phone tracking, and said the deadline for amendments favoured government members. Liberals replied that the government has a lot to get done and that Bill C-30 helps families and workers and grows the economy, and on Bill C-22, the Minister said Quebec police forces have asked for tools to fight crimes such as coercion and child pornography, which the Bloc opposes.Written by AI from the debate.
