Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank our colleague for his speech. He is always very interesting. As I mentioned earlier, this bill really deserves our attention because it is important and could change the lives of many Quebeckers and Canadians.
I would like to hear my colleague's thoughts on the trend we have been seeing over the past year or so with the new Liberal government. In various ways, both economically and in terms of information, there has been a push to give the government greater control. The Liberals want to allow the government to disregard the various laws in effect that provide some protection for citizens' rights. We are seeing this with the high-speed rail project, with the possibility of expropriations being carried out in a rather haphazard manner. Quebec's Expropriation Act and the federal Expropriation Act are being set aside, and things are being handled casually, according to the government's whims.
Is my colleague not concerned that Bill C-22 is taking a similar approach by expanding the government's power and limiting the oversight authority of the various agencies responsible for monitoring these matters?
