Thank you.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5442633\" data-originallang=\"en\">As we were going through all of these amendments, with each one it was funny to see the rep from the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a>'s Office running up behind the Liberals and telling them how they should be voting, telling them how they should be dealing with the issue. They had been told that with 100 amendments yet to be considered and debated at committee, they were going to cut off debate and vote on those amendments without any further debate. It was to be just up-and-down votes on each one, without our being able to share our views on them. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5442634\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would throw that back to the member, whom I do respect and who has had a taste of the environment committee. How can he say that there has been this tremendous reform of our committee system when nothing could be further from the truth?</p>",

Merci. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5442633\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pendant que nous \u00e9tudiions tous ces amendements, il \u00e9tait amusant de voir le repr\u00e9sentant du Cabinet du <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> se pr\u00e9cipiter derri\u00e8re les lib\u00e9raux et leur dire comment ils devaient voter, comment ils devaient traiter la question. On leur a dit qu'avec encore 100 amendements \u00e0 \u00e9tudier et d\u00e9battre en comit\u00e9, ils devaient interrompre le d\u00e9bat et voter sur ces amendements sans autre d\u00e9bat. Il s'agissait de se lever pour voter sur chacun d'entre eux, sans que nous puissions partager nos points de vue avant de voter. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5442634\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Je renverrais cela au d\u00e9put\u00e9, que je respecte et qui a connu le comit\u00e9 de l'environnement. Comment peut-il dire qu'il y a eu cette \u00e9norme r\u00e9forme de notre syst\u00e8me de comit\u00e9s alors que rien ne pourrait \u00eatre plus \u00e9loign\u00e9 de la v\u00e9rit\u00e9?</p>"
