Mr. Speaker, what we have seen consistently in this Parliament is the disrespect of the government for the democratic process. Government members claim they want committees to bring forth meaningful amendments, but they vote down amendments. They claim they want things to go to committee, but they shut down committee meetings.
Now the PMO has given a directive to the Liberal House leader and all the committee chairs to muzzle Parliament by eliminating committee meetings, by basically not having them.
I wonder if the member can share his thoughts on how he thinks this is helping democratic voices in Canada.
