Mr. Speaker, ignorance is bliss.
For years, the Conservative government has been telling us that its bills pass the constitutional test at the Department of Justice. The minister does not appear to be doing his job, since the government has spent about $7 million of taxpayers' money on defending the constitutionality of 16 of its laws. Believe it or not, it has lost every single case.
How many millions of dollars do the Conservatives plan on spending to defend unconstitutional laws?
