Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from the Canadian Alliance for his well put together speech.
As the tendency in our system is toward a greater concentration of power in the hands of the Prime Minister, should we not, as parliamentarians, act right now to establish clear rules, as proposed in the motion before us today, that would enable us to stop this transfer of power to the Prime Minister? Government members are often inclined, out of ambition or out of habit, to pass their responsibilities on to the executive, meaning to the Prime Minister.
Would supporting this motion not be an effective way of curbing this natural tendency of government members?
