Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question.
That actually brings us to the issue of transparency and the real trust people have in this government when it comes to consultation.
Previous bills have eroded this trust. It is very difficult to trust the government when consultations are often bogus or non-existent. We know that the government often tries to push bills through the various stages very quickly. Mammoth bills are a very good example, because we have very little time to debate them. However, we need to take the time to do so. I want the House to be able to express its point of view so that the committee understands the direction the House is taking.
I invite the members of the House who want to move forward more quickly to make their comments as soon as possible so that we can guide the committee in its work.
In addition, the government often—all too often—tends to limit debate on bills. We have seen this on many occasions. I hope the government will clearly understand that a bill must not be passed quickly; instead, it should be well thought out. Experts and stakeholders must be given an opportunity to testify.
We hope there will be a good debate in committee, as well as in the House.
