Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to the remarks made by my colleague from Rivière-du-Nord.
Is it simply an impression, or is there a modus vivendi creeping into the government's bills? In Bill C-51, for example, the government would have Canadians believe that existing police forces and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service are not equipped to fight terrorism.
In Bill S-7, it seems to be saying that potential victims, and we hope that there will never be victims, also have no recourse. The Criminal Code already contains very clear recourse for almost all these situations.
What is going on? Is this a partisan political vision or a real bill to help people who are going to need it?
