Mr. Speaker, I want to tell the minister that we voted in favour of most of the things he mentioned.
However, what makes us and Canadians angry is that this government is not effective when it comes to looking after its own affairs. Whether we are talking about passports, the military, the border, immigration, the cost of living or controlling expenses, to name only a few, this government has failed to take action.
What is the government doing now? It is encroaching on provincial jurisdiction. That is none of its business. When it comes to its own affairs, it is not up to the task.
When will a minister in this government stand up and finally take full responsibility for federal jurisdiction rather than encroaching on provincial jurisdiction?
