Mr. Speaker, the biggest disappointment Reformers have experienced in Parliament is the anti-democratic behaviour of the government.
The Prime Minister exercises dictatorial control over his MPs. MPs who have voted their constituents' wishes on Bill C-41 and Bill C-68 and other legislation have been punished for voting for the people they represent.
The anti-democratic behaviour has been demonstrated in legislation. Bill C-64 replaces hiring based on merit with hiring based on quota. Bill C-68 throws out such basic rights as protection against unreasonable search and seizure. Now the Liberal government is sabotaging section 2 of the charter by acting as thought police.
Canadians are entitled to fundamental freedoms of thought, belief, opinion and expression. Yet these Liberals have set up a committee to monitor and set out punishments for expressing ideas in the House with which the Liberals do not agree.
The government is smothering debate and stifling meaningful dialogue. George Orwell would be proud.
