Mr. Speaker, I will take the 45 seconds remaining to me and the 15 seconds I did not have time to use.
The answer to my colleague’s question is simple. There is a very big difference between “informing” and “consulting”, and that is respect. This government did not show respect for the official opposition and the second opposition party when it wanted to cut short a consultation process. They simply called the critics to inform them of a choice, and they consider that to be a consultation. That is absurd.
The government has missed the boat, and since I am reaching the end of my 15 seconds, I will conclude my answer there.
