Mr. Speaker, I do not have a lot of hope that change will come. That is why I want Quebec to become a country.
I get a sense that the government is playing a kind of bait and switch game. One minute we are talking about the Broadcasting Act and the government's obligations under it, and then suddenly it backtracks. The same thing happens all the time. We see it with Bill C-5 and with Bill C-39, which threatens other bills that are currently on the table. The government says it is getting things done, but then reverses what it accomplished. It says that it is going to get the first nations drinking water issue moving, for example, but then tables Bill C‑39, without being sure what impact it will have in that regard. It could nullify parts of the bill. The government acts as though it is making progress, but ultimately, it always backs down, in every sense of the word.
