Obviously, Madam Chair, it is consistent. What Bill C‑15 is saying is that government no longer wants to listen to people and doesn't want to give them any rights. It is telling people to go to Federal Court—and to empty their RRSPs, their pockets, their children's education funds and their farm renovation funds to do so. That's what this bill does. By rejecting the amendment, we are allowing the government to do just that. People will remember it.
What amendment BQ‑4 does is restore the 30-day period for filing an objection.
I will tell you one thing, and it is very important. When Alto comes to hold its bogus consultations—which are essentially business receptions with plasma screens, not consultations—it tells people that the Bloc Québécois members are liars because the 30-day period for opposing expropriations still exists. That is what Alto is telling my fellow citizens. That's what it's telling people in Laval, Saint-Eustache, and everywhere it goes.
According to the clause I wish to amend, if amendment BQ‑4 is rejected, there will no longer be a 30-day period. I am saying this to farmers who are listening to us, and we will make sure the word gets out: You should know that if this proposed amendment is not adopted, the 30-day period for filing an objection will be abolished.
I will say one thing about this bill: It tells you what Alto's word is worth, from its CEO down to the people further down the ladder, the peddlers who come to our ridings to sell us false information and who come to say that elected officials' messages to inform the public are wrong.
If this amendment is rejected, the 30-day deadline will be abolished, just as the Liberal government wants for its Liberal train.
I invite all my colleagues to do what they were elected to do, which is to defend their fellow citizens, to ensure that all citizens in this country are equal, and to adopt amendment BQ‑4.
