Specific Claims Resolution Act  Mr. Speaker, during their administration, the Liberals have invoked time allocation and closure a total of 84 times. The record in the previous administration, the Mulroney administration, was a total of 72 times. Therefore, we are already well past the record setting pace

Because of limited time only the Canadian Alliance has spoken to Bill C-6 , with only one member speaking

We have become quite familiar with that anti-democratic tool in this place. It has become a very popular weapon in the hands of governments and of this government

But this is a special debate today, discussing a bill like this one that has an impact on people's individual freedom, rights and safety. At the same time, there is time allocation to gag us once again. We could set up a counter and keep

Public Safety, 2002  . It is unfortunate that the government decided to move a time allocation motion, which limits debate on this issue. It is odd that the time allowed for debating a bill on human rights would be limited. If we heard about such a thing happening in other countries, we would say that they have

Public Safety Act 2002  Mr. Speaker, the arguments by my friend in the Alliance are somewhat antediluvian in the sense that we have the opposition always arguing against any time allocation motions. In fact, in the old days, before the first world war, there was no way to cut off debate. I believe

When the minister explained that changes were made to the rules in the 1960s to introduce in a time allocation process, I did not write down everything he said, but I can tell him that the Liberals, when he was in the opposition, were

Public Safety Act 2002  Mr. Speaker, I will confine my comments specifically to the issue of the time allocation and the comments the minister has just made. The fact is that the House is debating a bill that contains sections that are still extremely contentious. Some changes have been made but some

For the record, this is the 83rd time the government has moved to stop debate in this place. The former finance minister

It is not acceptable that excellent reports and work is done to address the issues and the government ignores the reports. I want to draw attention to this report and the comments that have been

Personally, the fact that the government would curtail debate by using this procedure is embarrassing. Just for the record, the government has invoked closure
