Madam Speaker, it is always a pleasure to rise on behalf of the people of Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo. The minister speaks about the urgency with which we really need to pass this legislation, yet here we are. I was going to say it is déjà vu, but it really cannot be déjà vu because this is my first term. Those who have served three terms can actually say it is déjà vu. In fact, I am looking right now at the Library of Parliament summary that we have on this, and it is dated August 30, 2022. The government says that we need to move quickly and we have to truncate the rights of debate of members. How can the minister possibly square that with the fact that the Liberal government has been sitting on this legislation for the third time now and for about two years?
In the House of Commons on June 4th, 2024. See this statement in context.
