Madam Speaker, there are facts which have to be brought to light and this is part of the bill. The minister does not want to go further on this issue as in the case of the bill we are debating today. She stubbornly refuses to be further advised on such important decisions that have to be taken. Her reasons for refusing any new course of action clearly appear to be unfounded.
I would even go further and say that the minister definitely shows her bad faith on many issues, as we saw during Question Period in recent days. Her answers to questions relating to the environment showed her ignorance and incompetence. All she tells us, and I think it is totally childish and silly, is that, when he was Minister of the Environment, Mr. Bouchard, our leader, said this and that, did this, did not do that, and so on. This is how the minister has been answering our questions for the last two years.
Come on. Let us be serious and exercise a little intellectual rigor. On any other question, she is big on quotes, which proves that she is no authority and misinformed on important issues. Frankly, I think that such behaviour from a deputy prime minister is quite alarming.
