Mr. Speaker, we all know how many years the Leader of the Opposition has served in this House, and we can certainly remember all the times he stood up to defend the honour, the rights and the privileges of parliamentarians. Now, in order to make partisan attacks, he is proposing that the government of the day have the ability to vet and oversee the rights of parliamentarians, and indeed of the Speaker, to include people in this House, to invite them into this House. I know that the Leader of the Opposition used to have more respect for Parliament than that, but he is busy making a partisan attack.
In the House of Commons on September 27th, 2023. See this statement in context.
