Mr. Speaker, it is as if the minister thinks his primary duty is making up word games to avoid responsibility. Seriously, these are important powers that would help the Chief Electoral Officer and Elections Canada investigate voter fraud, but after promising the bill with much fanfare, the minister had to backtrack and withdrew the bill under pressure from his own Conservative caucus.
Summer is fast approaching, so I have a very simple question for the minister. Will he or will he not table this bill before the House rises? Yes or no.
