Madam Speaker, this was why they went to fight: for a future they could not have imagined. There were literal children who were lying about their age so they could go fight for an idea that they had only just come to understand as they were coming of age as adults. They believed in what we have had the blessing and the benefit to enjoy since then: parliamentary democracy.
I will note that committees do not serve in an advisory role to the executive, to the Prime Minister, that he should dismiss out of hand simply because he can. I would say that, responsibly and ethically, he ought not and cannot dismiss it, because this place has been structured in such a way that we send bills to committee. They are referred to a committee by the House.
If the Liberals are just going to do whatever they want to do at the end of the day, then why the pageantry of the more than two dozen standing committees? That is not what this place is for.
