Mr. Speaker, the Liberals like to think of themselves as different from the Conservatives.
I will concede this point, that much of the legislation and many of the laws that were passed under the Harper government were repulsive. The Harper government did in fact gut environmental laws. There is no question about that.
However, that being said, the Liberal government also promised it would do things differently. The Liberals said that they would not bring in omnibus bills. What have they done? They have brought in omnibus. They said they would not bring in closure. What have they done? They have brought in closure.
If the Liberal government wants to say that it is different from the former Conservative government, will it stop bringing in closure?
