Mr. Speaker, it always amuses me to hear my colleague from Winnipeg North speak.
He says that his government makes laws, but then it makes other laws to get around and sidestep the laws it made. What is the point of making laws if they can be sidestepped? That is what the government did with Bill C‑5. That is quite clear.
He tells us that his government has some good bills, and yet the government does not want to comply with the laws it has made, so a new law is needed to get around them.
What makes a bill good is when it abides by the law. It is pretty easy to understand. That is what democracy is all about. After that, we can debate, we can amend the laws or make adjustments. In this case, however, the government is trying to get around a dozen laws.
When a government has nothing to hide, it proves that its bills are good and it gets them passed using the processes in place, but that is not what this government is doing right now.
