Madam Speaker, absolutely, “smoke and mirrors” is very apt terminology for this practice.
It is incumbent on us, here in the opposition, to play our job properly during the proceedings on the bill, not only by pointing out the deficiencies of the bill, but also by not letting the Liberal government off the hook. I know that the Liberal government will say to the Canadian public that it has provided oversight in Bill C-22 and that its job is done.
We will not allow that to stand. There is still a lot more to be done.
