Mr. Speaker, I understand my colleague's concerns about safety. However, there is an aspect of the government's bill that is also concerning, and that is the hidden expansion, so to speak, of Bill C‑5.
On page 300 of this bill, part 2 is entitled “Exemptions to encourage innovation, competitiveness or economic growth”. These exemptions give the government broad powers, similar to those set out in Bill C‑5.
In my colleague's opinion, is this not the government's way of doing what it did not dare announce publicly, by hiding it in the budget bill, so it could grant itself excessive powers? Does my colleague agree with that?
