He said that no member of his party was talking about the subject, whereas the first page of the website of one of his colleagues promotes the petition.
Second, a member can very well table a petition without making the customary remarks. He can do so without making any comments. For example, he can refrain from using the words that those two Conservative members used, that is to say
“I have the honour”
and
“It is a pleasure”
when the petition is tabled. You have to take a balanced approach.
My question is for Mr. Doiron.
You opened my eyes to a phenomenon I wasn't aware of. There are apparently some 20,000 small businesses having problems transferring their property. Have you any documents or studies on that subject? If there are no buyers, are large companies acquiring them?
