Yes I do.
I find the comments of the Parliamentary Secretary are unacceptable, who is apparently unhappy that we are studying this bill. This flies in the face of the basic principles of our democracy.
We would never refuse supplementary estimates to study a government bill that passed on second reading. It is normal for the parliamentary committee to study a bill that was passed on second reading; in fact, it is required to do so.
The Parliamentary Secretary can be against the bill, but this shouldn’t be a factor. What is important is that the bill is studied because this is what the majority of MPs, Canadians and Quebecers want. Therefore, I would like to proceed with the vote on the supplementary estimates.
