Democratic Institutions  Speaker, the Prime Minister changed the law to allow government-funded influencers to interfere in the election, once again using his power to try to rig the election. The Chief Electoral Officer agrees that a campaign involving social media influencers is very politically sensitive. Will the Prime Minister finally release the names of those influencers?

Democratic Institutions  Madam Speaker, the only dangerous game would be to rig the election. Elections Canada is keeping secret the names of its social media influencers: musicians, celebrities, athletes and YouTube producers. However, it is unfair and impossible for the Prime Minister to demand these people set aside their own opinions and experiences to remain unbiased.

Democratic Institutions  Elections Canada should be focusing on free and fair elections, instead of being forced by the Liberal government to come up with another way to rig the election. When will the Prime Minister stop manipulating every aspect of our democratic institutions to change the rules in his favour?

Business of Supply  Why does the Prime Minister want to make a decision behind closed doors about which media outlets he will help? Is he hiding that he is trying to rig the election? Does he understand the harm he could do to Canadian journalists if he does not show them greater respect? Now let us move on to paragraph (c) of this motion, which calls on the House to condemn the inclusion of Unifor, a group that has taken and continues to take partisan political positions, in this panel.

2019 Federal Election  By unilaterally imposing new rules around televised leaders' debates, the Prime Minister is once again attempting to rig the election in his favour. There is absolutely no reason or precedent for the executive branch of government to impose election regulations without even a debate in the House of Commons. It is an affront to our democracy.

Democratic Institutions  We know that these Liberals are increasingly anxious about October 21, but have they no shame attempting to rig the election?

Democratic Institutions  Now, we have learned that he appointed partisan groups to determine which media outlets will receive over a half a billion dollars in subsidies. When will the Prime Minister admit that he is trying to rig the election?

Democratic Institutions  Speaker, instead of safeguarding the upcoming election against foreign interference and protecting the privacy of Canadians and their data, the Prime Minister was too busy trying to rig the election for his own personal gain. Now he wants us to believe that his partisan panel will fairly distribute funds to media outlets when its membership has clearly expressed its intention to campaign against the Conservatives in the next election.

Government Policies  Why does the government want to destroy the media's reputation by trying to buy them off with taxpayer money before the election? Why is the government trying to rig the election?

Elections Modernization Act  That is what the government has tried to do with the elections modernization act. In addition to rigging the election for the Liberals, the bill would attempt to undo everything that was done within the Fair Elections Act, which some members refer to as the unfair elections act, which is so very funny.

Firearms Act  The Liberals cannot pass their marijuana legislation without the Senate pushing it back. They are trying to rig the election system again through Bill C-76. This is where we are at. We are three years into a four-year mandate, ramming legislation through with a handful of hours at second reading, one meeting with the minister and bureaucrats at committee, and three more meetings with a handful of witnesses, a mere fraction of the number of people and organizations that wanted to be represented and have their voices heard.

Democratic Reform  Speaker, the Liberals continue to show a total lack of respect for Parliament. They want to rig the election and do not want Canadians to know about it. After just two hours of debate, the Liberals decided to limit the time allocated to debating this bill. Will the Prime Minister ask Elections Canada to put off implementing this bill until Parliament passes an amended version?

Democratic Reform  How is that possible when he has already instructed Elections Canada to implement this bill even before it was sent to committee? The truth is that the Prime Minister has already decided to rig our elections system in his favour. Therefore, again, will the Prime Minister rescind his order to implement this bill before any amendments are passed by Parliament?

Democratic Reform  Speaker, 86 is the number of hours that were debated under the Fair Elections Act under the previous Conservative government. Now after just two hours, the Liberals have shut down debate and are attempting to rig our election system. Liberals can talk all they want about respect for Parliament and Canadians, but allowing only two hours of debate is anything but respect for our democracy. Will the Prime Minister instruct Elections Canada to stop implementing these changes to the Elections Act before this bill has had a chance to be reviewed?

Democratic Reform  Speaker, when the Conservatives wanted to protect the integrity of our electoral system, they allowed for 84 hours of debate. I repeat, 84 hours of debate. When the Liberals introduced Bill C-76 to rig the election in their favour, they invoked closure to put the bill to vote yesterday, after just two hours of debate. What are the Liberals afraid of? Are they afraid of losing the next election?
