Madam Speaker, having heard the previous Liberal question about this great bill, I will ask the member about four snappy quotes.
The first is, “The proposed reforms are just not good enough,” which was said by Toby Mendel, the executive director of the Centre for Law and Democracy.
The second is, “The bill take a step backwards”, which was said by Duff Conacher, co-founder of Democracy Watch.
The third is, “Bill C-58 would actually make the Access to Information Act more difficult to use”, which was said by Mark Weiler, a distinguished librarian at Wilfrid Laurier University.
Finally, Bill C-58 “would result in a regression of existing rights.” Who said that? The Information Commissioner.
In the hon. member's somewhat broad-ranging remarks, he expressed his discontent with the bill. However, the Conservatives did nothing in 10 years in power and did not even introduce any amendments at committee. Have you no faith at all in the Liberals' ability to accept amendments, or are you reverting back to your pattern of not acting on this?
