Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my Liberal colleague for his question.
I think it is disgraceful that the government is using its majority to change laws as fundamental as those associated with our democratic system. What is even more regrettable is the fact that it is not surprising.
Since I became an MP in the House, I have seen the government use its majority again and again to push through bills that Canadians do not want. If every opposition party disapproves of a bill, at some point, the government should begin to wonder. It is not a question of ideology; it is about changing our laws for the better.
However, this government uses so many time allocation motions that it has set a record. It is not even taking the time to listen to the amendments we put forward.
During the clause-by-clause study of this bill, half of the clauses could not be debated because the Conservatives decided that they did not want to take the time.
That is frustrating, and I think that the international community could easily say that we are not truly democratic.
