Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister and his Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs claim they are passing Bill C-20 to protect Canadian democracy. They must have a pretty poor idea of what Canadian democracy is, because all that they are doing is preventing it from being expressed.
Can the Prime Minister tell us what his government is so afraid of that it needs to so restrict the time for the committee debate, to limit the number of witnesses and to refuse to go and meet people where they live?
