That, I guess, is why some are calling it an omnibus bill, though I do not agree with that. I am referring to the requirement that a charter statement accompany every government bill, whether it is with respect to criminal or non-criminal law. Does the member thinks that really adds much value to the way we do business in this House?</p>",

C'est peut-\u00eatre ce qui am\u00e8ne certains d\u00e9put\u00e9s \u00e0 qualifier cette mesure de mesure omnibus, une opinion que je ne partage pas. Je fais r\u00e9f\u00e9rence \u00e0 l'exigence voulant qu'un \u00e9nonc\u00e9 concernant la Charte accompagne tous les projets de loi du gouvernement, qu'il s'agisse d'une mesure p\u00e9nale ou non. D'apr\u00e8s le d\u00e9put\u00e9, cette nouvelle exigence aura-t-elle vraiment une incidence positive sur les travaux de la Chambre?</p>"
