Madam Speaker, my question does not pertain to the substance of the bill specifically, but rather to the closure motion.
It is quite clear that all members want to pass this bill quickly, and yet gag orders are still being used excessively. Does my colleague not think this bill should at least be sent to committee for study so that we have the opportunity to ask government officials and ministers about the implementation of the bill?
The bill provides for certain procurement processes as of January 1, and we would like to know what has been happening since then.
