Madam Speaker, I note that in 2021, the Liberal Party said it was going to combat authoritarianism worldwide.

I remark, with horror, I suppose, on the authoritarianism that I detect in this document that they are proposing to get through the House, after the strenuous objections of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association.

Does the member have any reflections on either the authoritarianism in the bill or the hypocrisy that such authoritarianism implies?
