Mr. Speaker, let us talk about ministerial discretion.
When it suits him, he talks about it and when it does not suit him, he does not talk about it.
Discretionary authority is being given to the minister without putting in place any legal recourse with the assistance of counsel, and without any possibility of protection. Do my colleagues know what I call that? I call that dictatorship. I call that absolute power.
The current government tends to want to put absolute power in the hands of a few people without providing any recourse.
