I wish we were not talking about the Standing Orders today. I think there are a lot of issues gripping this country, including illegal blockades. We have seen individuals set fires and put up barricades on railroads, causing our economy to come to a halt. We have seen absolute weak leadership and no leadership from the government. Today would be a good day to talk about things like that. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071349\" data-originallang=\"en\">We also have seen issues around investment leaving this country. As we have just seen this week, Teck has taken out its application for a very important project that we wish had been built in Alberta. It would have helped jobs right across the country. The Liberals and their policy are driving investment away. That is something we could be talking about today. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071350\" data-originallang=\"en\">We also have the coronavirus, which is gripping the world. We do not know if it is contained. Could it be a pandemic? That is an issue Canadians are thinking about.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071351\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, today we are talking about changes to the Standing Orders. I will get to the fact that we only have four speakers today, but for now I will say that I am sharing my time with one of the next three speakers, the member for <a data-HoCid=\"252594\" href=\"/politicians/john-nater/\" title=\"John Nater\">Perth\u2014Wellington</a>. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071352\" data-originallang=\"en\">I will start by giving a little background and then will quickly let my colleagues know, as some may not be aware, how a minority Parliament operates. I want to give some context about opposition days and why they matter.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071353\" data-originallang=\"en\">Throughout the run of a full year, the government must devote 22 days for the opposition parties to raise topics of their choosing. The rules spread those out over winter, spring and fall, and from there the opposition parties agree on how to carve them up. It is up to the government to decide which days are used for opposition motions, but on those days, the opposition gets to bring forward any topic it chooses as long as it falls within Parliament's jurisdiction. Today, the Liberals decided to give Conservatives a Friday as their opposition day.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071354\" data-originallang=\"en\">On Fridays, as we all know, the House has a much shorter sitting period, because we all want to get back to our ridings for the important things going on in our constituencies. To be blunt and very clear, for all of us who have been here for a while and know this and for the newer MPs, giving an opposition party, any one of us, a Friday as an opposition day is a full-out slap. It is a full-out insult. It is a full-out, 100% punishment.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071355\" data-originallang=\"en\">That is what the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> is doing right now. He is punishing Conservatives. Why? It is because we have been standing up to him, because we have been pointing out his weakness and calling out some of the ways the government has not recognized that it is in a minority, not a majority, Parliament.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071356\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have seen a number of things that we are very concerned about. We have raised them with you, Madam Speaker. They include things like the government's leaking bills to the press before they have been brought to the House. We had to rise on a question of privilege. As we saw, the <a data-HoCid=\"253374\" href=\"/politicians/seamus-oregan/\" title=\"Seamus O'Regan\">Minister of Natural Resources</a> had to stand and apologize. We accept that apology, but it was pretty disrespectful to all of us in this place for the government to leak contents of a bill to the press before we saw it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071357\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have also seen the government give incomplete and inaccurate responses to Order Paper questions. Actually, this is what the <a data-HoCid=\"253374\" href=\"/politicians/seamus-oregan/\" title=\"Seamus O'Regan\">Minister of Natural Resources</a> had to apologize for. No one has apologized yet for the leaking of the bill.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071358\" data-originallang=\"en\">In responses to the Order Paper questions, misleading answers have been given, and then even in defence of those misleading answers, we have seen misleading answers given again. It is totally unacceptable, and as Conservatives, we are going to call that out.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071359\" data-originallang=\"en\">There are the two issues on which I have seen such a high level of disrespect. First is the new NAFTA agreement and how the Liberals have worked with us on that. As Conservatives, we are the party of free trade. We believe that many Canadians and many Canadian sectors need an agreement. It is not a great agreement, but we have been supporting it, while asking tough questions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071360\" data-originallang=\"en\">One of those questions has been about the economic impact to Canadians, and the Liberals have refused to give us that. Instead, they are getting up, as we saw when the <a data-HoCid=\"253365\" href=\"/politicians/chrystia-freeland/\" title=\"Chrystia Freeland\">Deputy Prime Minister</a> stood in this place, to completely mislead and try to poke a stick in our eye, saying that we were somehow blocking the new NAFTA deal, which is completely misleading, completely disingenuous and insulting.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071361\" data-originallang=\"en\">To add insult to injury, yesterday when I tried to expedite Bill <a data-HoCid=\"10615191\" href=\"/bills/43-1/C-4/\" title=\"An Act to implement the Agreement between Canada, the United States of America and the United Mexican States\">C-4</a>, to get it through in a much faster way, the Liberals opposed it. In fact, it was the member for <a data-HoCid=\"252532\" href=\"/politicians/kevin-lamoureux/\" title=\"Kevin Lamoureux\">Winnipeg North</a>, a Manitoban, who said no.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071362\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Liberals are sucking and blowing at the same time, and in doing that they are insulting us. They are not recognizing that we are in a minority Parliament.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071363\" data-originallang=\"en\">The really insulting thing they did occurred last week, when the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> excluded our leader from a meeting of all opposition and government leaders on the topic of the rail blockades simply because our leader spoke the truth as to how to approach the illegal blockades. He was called names and excluded by the Prime Minister. Then three days later, the Prime Minister basically repeated verbatim what our leader had said. That was disrespectful and disingenuous, and not at all the way a minority Parliament should work.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071364\" data-originallang=\"en\">Last Parliament, we said this often: The <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister </a> wanted an audience in this place; he did not want an opposition. I am afraid that has not changed. He did not get the voters' message in the election. He did not get the memo that his majority has been taken away. He needs to recognize quickly that Conservatives are going to stand up for the interests of the millions of Canadians who voted for us, who did not vote for the Liberals, and the growing number of Canadians who see a country and an economy paralyzed by the weak Liberal government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071365\" data-originallang=\"en\">Conservatives are not afraid to give voice to Canadians who disagree with the Liberals and the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a>. Conservatives will demand that Liberals be open and transparent. They will be honest in this Parliament. Conservatives will hold the Liberal government to account.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071366\" data-originallang=\"en\">In 1979, Joe Clark and his government fell after just 49 sitting days. It is often said it was because they could not count, but really it was because they had miscalculated badly. Today is just the 26th sitting day of this Parliament, and sadly the Liberals and their growing pattern of disrespect are hurtling us toward one unnecessary political disaster after another.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071367\" data-originallang=\"en\">We are going to give the Liberals a chance to work collaboratively with opposition parties and work with Parliament by dedicating three additional days for each of the opposition parties. Members will notice that we are working collaboratively. Members will notice that we put the opposition parties in our motion. We are not looking just for our gain. We want to see all of us work together.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071368\" data-originallang=\"en\">The motion would give three additional days for each of the parties to put forward an idea for debate and propose solutions for the many difficulties that Canadians face. We are giving the Liberals a chance to right their wrongs toward the opposition parties. We will give the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> a chance to correct his course. Today is a chance to press reset.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071369\" data-originallang=\"en\">Recently I read an article in which the <a data-HoCid=\"253375\" href=\"/politicians/pablo-rodriguez/\" title=\"Pablo Rodriguez\">Liberal House leader</a>, talking to a member of the press in the context of a minority Parliament, said, \u201cNever take one day for granted. Anything can happen.\u201d This may be a lesson for the Liberals and the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a>: The things he does affect all of Parliament. This is also, with respect, a lesson for the Liberal House leader that he should never take one day for granted, because anything can happen.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071370\" data-originallang=\"en\">Today, with the amount of time that we have, we will talk about giving additional days to the opposition. We are hoping this will result in a reset and that the Liberals will respect that we are in a minority Parliament, will tell us the truth, will not exclude people who disagree with them, will not mislead this Parliament and will be open, transparent and respectful. Then we can continue to work, as we should, as the official opposition and as opposition parties to hold the government to account and do the very best we can for this great country that we serve.</p>",

J'aurais pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 qu'on ne parle pas du R\u00e8glement de la Chambre aujourd'hui. Je pense que le pays est aux prises avec un tr\u00e8s grand nombre de probl\u00e8mes, dont celui des barrages ill\u00e9gaux. Des individus ont allum\u00e9 des feux et \u00e9rig\u00e9 des barricades sur la voie ferr\u00e9e, ce qui paralyse l'\u00e9conomie du pays. Le gouvernement manque de leadership ou n'en a pas du tout. Aujourd'hui aurait \u00e9t\u00e9 une journ\u00e9e id\u00e9ale pour parler de questions de ce genre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071349\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le pays perd des investissements. Cette semaine, la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Teck a annul\u00e9 un projet tr\u00e8s important qu'elle souhaitait r\u00e9aliser en Alberta. Ce projet aurait contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 am\u00e9liorer la situation de l'emploi partout au pays. Les lib\u00e9raux et les politiques qu'ils mettent en \u0153uvre font fuir les investissements. Nous aurions pu parler de cet enjeu aujourd'hui.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071350\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pensons aussi \u00e0 la crise du coronavirus qui touche le monde entier. Nous ne savons pas si le virus est contenu. D\u00e9cr\u00e9tera-t-on une pand\u00e9mie? C'est un probl\u00e8me qui pr\u00e9occupe les Canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071351\" data-originallang=\"en\">Malgr\u00e9 tout cela, aujourd'hui, nous parlons de la modification du R\u00e8glement. Nous n'avons que quatre intervenants aujourd'hui et je vais partager mon temps de parole avec l'un d'eux, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"252594\" href=\"/politicians/john-nater/\" title=\"John Nater\">Perth\u2014Wellington</a>. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071352\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vais commencer par une petite mise en contexte et d\u00e9crire bri\u00e8vement, pour ceux de mes coll\u00e8gues qui ne le savent peut-\u00eatre pas, comment fonctionne le Parlement dans un contexte de gouvernement minoritaire. Je vais donner des d\u00e9tails sur les journ\u00e9es de l'opposition et en expliquer l'importance. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071353\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au cours d'une ann\u00e9e, le gouvernement doit pr\u00e9voir 22 journ\u00e9es o\u00f9 ce sont les partis de l'opposition qui choisissent le sujet abord\u00e9. Selon le R\u00e8glement, ces journ\u00e9es sont r\u00e9parties pendant l'hiver, le printemps et l'automne. Il revient ensuite aux partis de l'opposition de d\u00e9cider du partage. Il appartient au gouvernement de d\u00e9terminer quelles seront les journ\u00e9es r\u00e9serv\u00e9es aux motions de l'opposition, mais ces jours-l\u00e0, l'opposition peut choisir n'importe quel sujet pourvu que ce soit une question qui rel\u00e8ve du Parlement. Les lib\u00e9raux ont d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de donner cette journ\u00e9e-ci aux conservateurs comme journ\u00e9e de l'opposition, un vendredi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071354\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme nous le savons tous, la s\u00e9ance de la Chambre est beaucoup plus courte le vendredi, parce que nous voulons tous retourner aux t\u00e2ches importantes qui nous attendent dans nos circonscriptions. Disons-le sans d\u00e9tour, pour tous ceux qui sont \u00e0 la Chambre depuis un bout de temps et le savent, et aussi pour les nouveaux d\u00e9put\u00e9s, pr\u00e9voir une journ\u00e9e de l'opposition un vendredi est un v\u00e9ritable affront pour n'importe quel parti de l'opposition. Ce n'est rien de moins qu'une insulte. C'est carr\u00e9ment, sous tous les rapports, une punition.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071355\" data-originallang=\"en\">Voil\u00e0 ce que fait le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> en ce moment. Il punit les conservateurs. Pourquoi? Parce que nous lui r\u00e9sistons, parce que nous soulignons ses faiblesses et d\u00e9non\u00e7ons le fait que le gouvernement ne reconna\u00eet pas qu'il est minoritaire et non majoritaire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071356\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous constatons des choses tr\u00e8s pr\u00e9occupantes et nous vous en avons fait part, madame la Pr\u00e9sidente. Pensons aux projets de loi que le gouvernement a divulgu\u00e9s \u00e0 la presse avant de les pr\u00e9senter \u00e0 la Chambre. Nous avons d\u00fb \u00e9voquer le R\u00e8glement. Le <a data-HoCid=\"253374\" href=\"/politicians/seamus-oregan/\" title=\"Seamus O'Regan\">ministre des Ressources naturelles</a> a d\u00fb prendre la parole et pr\u00e9senter des excuses. Nous les acceptons, mais il est tout de m\u00eame irrespectueux envers les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de communiquer un projet de loi \u00e0 la presse avant qu'ils aient pu le voir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071357\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement a aussi donn\u00e9 des r\u00e9ponses incompl\u00e8tes et inexactes \u00e0 des questions inscrites au Feuilleton. En fait, c'est pour cette raison que le <a data-HoCid=\"253374\" href=\"/politicians/seamus-oregan/\" title=\"Seamus O'Regan\">ministre des Ressources naturelles</a> a d\u00fb pr\u00e9senter des excuses. Personne n'a encore pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 d'excuses pour la fuite du contenu du projet de loi.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071358\" data-originallang=\"en\">On a donn\u00e9 des r\u00e9ponses trompeuses aux questions inscrites au Feuilleton, puis, pour justifier ces derni\u00e8res, on a encore donn\u00e9 des r\u00e9ponses trompeuses. C'est tout \u00e0 fait inacceptable, et les conservateurs vont d\u00e9noncer ces agissements.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071359\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il y a deux questions pour lesquelles on a fait preuve d'un tel manque de respect. Primo, il y a le nouvel ALENA et la fa\u00e7on dont les lib\u00e9raux ont collabor\u00e9 avec nous dans ce dossier. Le Parti conservateur est le champion du libre-\u00e9change. Nous croyons que de nombreux Canadiens et secteurs au Canada ont besoin d'un accord. Il ne s'agit pas d'un tr\u00e8s bon accord, mais nous l'appuyons, tout en posant des questions difficiles.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071360\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'une de ces questions porte sur les r\u00e9percussions \u00e9conomiques que l'accord aurait sur les Canadiens, et les lib\u00e9raux refusent de nous r\u00e9pondre. Ils prennent plut\u00f4t la parole, comme l'a fait la <a data-HoCid=\"253365\" href=\"/politicians/chrystia-freeland/\" title=\"Chrystia Freeland\">vice-premi\u00e8re ministre</a>, pour nous induire compl\u00e8tement en erreur et nous lancer des piques en disant que nous bloquons en quelque sorte l'adoption du nouvel ALENA, ce qui est tout \u00e0 fait trompeur, malhonn\u00eate et insultant.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071361\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pour couronner le tout, hier, lorsque j'ai essay\u00e9 d'acc\u00e9l\u00e9rer le processus du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"10615191\" href=\"/bills/43-1/C-4/\" title=\"An Act to implement the Agreement between Canada, the United States of America and the United Mexican States\">C-4</a>, pour que celui-ci soit adopt\u00e9 plus rapidement, les lib\u00e9raux s'y sont oppos\u00e9s. En fait, c'est le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"252532\" href=\"/politicians/kevin-lamoureux/\" title=\"Kevin Lamoureux\">Winnipeg-Nord</a>, un Manitobain, qui a dit non.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071362\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les lib\u00e9raux se contredisent constamment et, ce faisant, ils nous insultent. Ils ne r\u00e9alisent pas qu'ils sont un gouvernement minoritaire. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071363\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cependant, c'est la semaine derni\u00e8re que nous avons subi la plus grande insulte, lorsque le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> a exclu notre chef d'une rencontre r\u00e9unissant tous les chefs de l'opposition au sujet des blocages ferroviaires simplement parce que ce dernier avait dit les vraies choses concernant l'approche \u00e0 adopter \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard des blocages ill\u00e9gaux. Le premier ministre l'a insult\u00e9 et l'a exclu de la r\u00e9union. Puis, trois jours plus tard, il a r\u00e9p\u00e9t\u00e9 mot pour mot ce que notre chef avait dit. C'est un comportement irrespectueux et fallacieux, et ce n'est certainement pas la mani\u00e8re dont un gouvernement minoritaire devrait agir. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071364\" data-originallang=\"en\">Lors de la derni\u00e8re l\u00e9gislature, nous l'avons souvent dit: le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> veut un auditoire ici; pas une opposition. J'ai bien peur que rien n'ait chang\u00e9. Il n'a pas compris le message des \u00e9lecteurs apr\u00e8s l'\u00e9lection. Il n'a pas re\u00e7u la note de service l'avisant qu'il avait perdu sa majorit\u00e9. Il doit reconna\u00eetre sans tarder le fait que nous, les conservateurs, allons nous tenir debout pour d\u00e9fendre les int\u00e9r\u00eats des millions de Canadiens qui ont vot\u00e9 pour nous, qui n'ont pas vot\u00e9 pour les lib\u00e9raux, ainsi que pour le nombre sans cesse croissant de Canadiens qui voient leur pays et leur \u00e9conomie paralys\u00e9s par la faiblesse du gouvernement lib\u00e9ral.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071365\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les conservateurs n'ont pas peur d'\u00eatre les porte-paroles des Canadiens qui sont en d\u00e9saccord avec les lib\u00e9raux et le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a>. Les conservateurs exigeront que les lib\u00e9raux soient ouverts et transparents, et qu'ils se montrent honn\u00eates pendant cette l\u00e9gislature. Les conservateurs vont tenir les lib\u00e9raux responsables de leurs actes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071366\" data-originallang=\"en\">En 1979, Joe Clark et son gouvernement sont tomb\u00e9s apr\u00e8s seulement 49 jours de s\u00e9ance. On a souvent all\u00e9gu\u00e9 que c'est parce que son gouvernement ne savait pas compter alors que, dans les faits, il s'\u00e9tait royalement tromp\u00e9 dans ses calculs. Le Parlement en est seulement \u00e0 sa 26<sup>e</sup> journ\u00e9e de s\u00e9ance et il est triste de constater que les lib\u00e9raux, et leur tendance croissante au manque de respect, nous pr\u00e9cipitent vers une suite ininterrompue de d\u00e9sastres politiques.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071367\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous allons donner une occasion aux lib\u00e9raux de collaborer avec les partis de l'opposition et avec le Parlement en donnant un jour de plus \u00e0 chaque parti de l'opposition. Les d\u00e9put\u00e9s remarqueront que nous travaillons en collaboration et que nous incluons les partis de l'opposition dans notre motion. Ce n'est donc pas seulement dans notre int\u00e9r\u00eat. Nous voulons que tout le monde unisse ses efforts.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071368\" data-originallang=\"en\">La motion donnerait trois jours de plus aux partis pour pr\u00e9senter une question \u00e0 d\u00e9battre et proposer des solutions aux nombreux probl\u00e8mes des Canadiens. Nous donnons aux lib\u00e9raux une occasion de r\u00e9parer leurs torts aupr\u00e8s des partis de l'opposition.

John George Diefenbaker.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071394\" data-originallang=\"en\">Today, we find ourselves called upon to once again stand in support of this great institution, to once again stand for the right of opposition parliamentarians to hold the government to account.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071395\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Many Canadians may not be closely following the business of supply. They may not closely follow the allotted days, or the opposition days, that are often called in Parliament. However, these days, in which the agenda of the House falls to the opposition parties, are absolutely essential to our great parliamentary democracy. We as the opposition, both the official opposition and the other opposition parties, have the right to bring forward matters that we feel are important to our constituents and to all Canadians.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071396\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Beauchesne's <em>Parliamentary Rules and Forms</em>, sixth edition, states \u201cThe Opposition prerogative is very broad in the use of the allotted day and ought not to be interfered with except on the clearest and most certain procedural grounds.\u201d </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071397\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have brought forward this opposition day motion on this day for very important reasons. The Liberal government decided to punish the official opposition by giving us a short parliamentary day, a short day when only two full speaking slots would be allocated to the opposition parties.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071398\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The Liberal government seems to have forgotten that it is among the weakest governing mandate in Canadian history. The Liberals forget that they actually lost the popular vote in the last election and Canadians saw fit to return them with a minority of seats in this place.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071399\" data-originallang=\"en\">Bosc and Gagnon states the following, on page 855:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"6071400\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The setting aside of a specified number of sitting days on which the opposition chooses the subject of debate derives from the tradition which holds that Parliament does not grant supply until the opposition has had an opportunity to demonstrate why it should be refused. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"6071401\" data-originallang=\"en\"> In other words, before we as the opposition can consent to the continued funding of the government, we must, and we will, have the opportunity to raise our concerns in this place. We will not be silenced. We will not accept that the government, and only the government, has a legitimate voice in this place.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071402\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I would remind members of the Liberal Party that they are first and foremost members of the legislative branch of government. Those who do not sit in cabinet are not members of the executive branch. They are parliamentarians and parliamentarians first and foremost. They too should be concerned that the members of the executive branch of government are the ones who are trying to control the debate of this very place.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071403\" data-originallang=\"en\">I ought not to need to remind the government of its legislative record and its mismanagement of House time in the previous Parliament. At the time of dissolution, it had left at least 17 government bills lying on the Order Paper. This is in spite of the fact that it used time allocation on dozens of occasions. On top of that, there were 13 motions for closure and 40 motions to proceed to orders of the day, thereby bypassing the opportunity for opposition MPs to move concurrence motions or to table petitions on behalf of the constituents in each of our 338 ridings across the country.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071404\" data-originallang=\"en\">Today's debate is about returning the House to the people, to give the official opposition, the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois and the New Democratic Party each one additional opposition day during the supply period, to give each of these parties the opportunity to raise the issues before granting supply to the Liberal government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071405\" data-originallang=\"en\">I do not need to remind the House either about the disregard we have seen in the past by the Liberal Party to this institution.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071406\" data-originallang=\"en\"> In the previous Parliament, on one of its very first bills, Bill <a data-HoCid=\"8177165\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-14/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code and to make related amendments to other Acts (medical assistance in dying)\">C-14</a>, the medical assistance in dying act, the Liberal government was found to have contravened the rights and privileges of the House by leaking the contents to the media before it was tabled for all parliamentarians to see. Old habits die hard, because it appears it did that once again this time with Bill <a data-HoCid=\"10648716\" href=\"/bills/43-1/C-7/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (medical assistance in dying)\">C-7</a>, the amendments to medical assistance in dying.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071407\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Conservatives do not need to remind the Liberals either about the impacts they bring upon themselves when they attempt to use draconian measures to shut down debate in the House. We all remember Motion No. 6, when they tried to unilaterally take control of every mechanism for debate in the House. We do not need to remind the Liberals of the standing order standoff, when they tried to diminish the opportunity for the opposition to hold the government to account by unilaterally changing the rules of the House. It fell to the Conservatives, as the official opposition, and the third party, the New Democrats, to ensure we were that line of defence, that we were that thin line of the wedge to prevent the Liberal government from doing that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071408\" data-originallang=\"en\">In fact, in the previous Parliament, during a debate in this very House on a question of privilege, one of the most significant matters with which the House can be seized, a Liberal member of Parliament, the member for <a data-HoCid=\"252607\" href=\"/politicians/alexandra-mendes/\" title=\"Alexandra Mendes\">Brossard\u2014Saint-Lambert</a>, stood in the House, used a procedural measure to move to orders of the day and killed that debate. However, our Parliament is stronger than any one Liberal member of Parliament. At that time, the Speaker saw fit to return that question of privilege to the House so members of Parliament could have their voices heard.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071409\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We see this time and again with the Liberal government. At every opportunity it has to do the right thing, it goes the opposite direction.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071410\" data-originallang=\"en\">That brings me to the events we have seen just in the last couple of weeks on the new NAFTA. It is not a great deal and it is not the worst deal; it is somewhere in between. We are the party of free trade and we support the implementation of the new NAFTA despite its imperfections. However, to hear the <a data-HoCid=\"253365\" href=\"/politicians/chrystia-freeland/\" title=\"Chrystia Freeland\">Deputy Prime Minister</a> state publicly and in this place that the Conservative Party was somehow trying to delay the new NAFTA is an insult to the opposition and to the House of Commons. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071411\" data-originallang=\"en\">Just yesterday, my colleague, the <a data-HoCid=\"224944\" href=\"/politicians/candice-hoeppner/\" title=\"Candice Bergen\">opposition House leader</a>, gave the Liberals the opportunity to right their wrong by bringing forward NAFTA today. We could be debating NAFTA today and I could be raising the concerns of the people of Perth\u2014Wellington, the farmers, the manufacturers, individuals who have concerns with the bill. However, the Liberals did not budge. In fact, speaking for the government, the <a data-HoCid=\"253848\" href=\"/politicians/kevin-lamoureux/\" title=\"Kevin Lamoureux\">parliamentary secretary to the government House leader</a> said no, that the government would not be willing to bring NAFTA forward. That is unacceptable. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071412\" data-originallang=\"en\">We stand here today debating this opposition motion, a motion that gives the rights and responsibilities of the House back to all its members. I encourage all members to stand for their parliamentary privilege, to stand for democracy and vote in favour of this motion.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6071393\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, \u00ab le Parlement est plus qu'un lieu de proc\u00e9dure; c'est le gardien de la libert\u00e9 de la nation \u00bb. Voil\u00e0 les propos du tr\u00e8s honorable John Diefenbaker, le grand d\u00e9fenseur de la d\u00e9mocratie parlementaire. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071394\" data-originallang=\"en\">Aujourd'hui, nous devons une fois de plus intervenir pour d\u00e9fendre cette noble institution et le droit des d\u00e9put\u00e9s de l'opposition de demander des comptes au gouvernement. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071395\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il est possible que de nombreux Canadiens ne suivent pas de pr\u00e8s les travaux des subsides. Il se peut qu'ils ne suivent pas attentivement les jours d\u00e9sign\u00e9s, \u00e0 savoir les journ\u00e9es de l'opposition, qui sont souvent demand\u00e9s \u00e0 la Chambre des communes. Toutefois, ces journ\u00e9es, au cours desquelles l'ordre du jour de la Chambre est r\u00e9serv\u00e9 aux partis de l'opposition, sont absolument essentielles \u00e0 notre grande d\u00e9mocratie parlementaire. Nous, les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de l'opposition officielle et des autres partis de l'opposition, avons le droit de saisir la Chambre de questions qui, selon nous, rev\u00eatent une grande importance pour les \u00e9lecteurs de nos circonscriptions et tous les Canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071396\" data-originallang=\"en\">Dans la <em>Jurisprudence parlementaire</em> de Beauchesne, sixi\u00e8me \u00e9dition, on peut lire ceci: \u00ab la latitude accord\u00e9e \u00e0 l'opposition quant au choix des sujets \u00e0 d\u00e9battre pendant les journ\u00e9es qui lui sont r\u00e9serv\u00e9es \u00e9tant consid\u00e9rable, on ne la restreint que pour des raisons de proc\u00e9dure des plus \u00e9videntes et des plus imp\u00e9rieuses \u00bb.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071397\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 cette motion de l'opposition aujourd'hui pour des raisons tr\u00e8s importantes. Le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de punir l'opposition officielle en lui accordant une journ\u00e9e de l'opposition plus courte que d'habitude, o\u00f9 les partis de l'opposition disposent de seulement deux p\u00e9riodes d'intervention.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071398\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le gouvernement lib\u00e9ral semble avoir oubli\u00e9 qu'il a re\u00e7u l'un des mandats de gouverner les plus faibles de l'histoire du Canada. Les lib\u00e9raux oublient qu'ils ont en fait perdu le vote populaire aux derni\u00e8res \u00e9lections et que les Canadiens ont jug\u00e9 bon de les renvoyer \u00e0 la Chambre avec une minorit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071399\" data-originallang=\"en\">La page 850 de l'ouvrage de Bosc et Gagnon dit ceci:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"6071400\" data-originallang=\"en\"> La mise de c\u00f4t\u00e9 d'un nombre sp\u00e9cifi\u00e9 de jours de s\u00e9ance o\u00f9 l'opposition choisit le sujet du d\u00e9bat vient d'une tradition voulant que le Parlement n'accorde pas de cr\u00e9dits tant que l'opposition n'a pas eu l'occasion de d\u00e9montrer pourquoi ces cr\u00e9dits devraient \u00eatre refus\u00e9s. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"6071401\" data-originallang=\"en\">Autrement dit, en tant qu'opposition officielle, nous ne pouvons consentir \u00e0 l'octroi des cr\u00e9dits \u2014 et nous n'y consentirons pas \u2014 avant d'avoir l'occasion de soulever nos pr\u00e9occupations \u00e0 ce sujet \u00e0 la Chambre. Nous ne serons pas r\u00e9duits au silence. Nous n'accepterons pas l'id\u00e9e que le gouvernement serait la seule voix l\u00e9gitime dans cette enceinte.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071402\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je rappelle aux d\u00e9put\u00e9s lib\u00e9raux qu'ils font d'abord et avant tout partie de l'organe l\u00e9gislatif du gouvernement. Ceux qui ne font pas partie du Cabinet ne sont pas membres de l'ex\u00e9cutif. Ils sont d'abord et avant tout des parlementaires. Ils devraient eux aussi \u00eatre pr\u00e9occup\u00e9s par le fait que les membres de l'ex\u00e9cutif tentent de contr\u00f4ler le d\u00e9bat \u00e0 la Chambre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071403\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je ne devrais pas avoir \u00e0 rappeler au gouvernement son bilan l\u00e9gislatif et sa mauvaise gestion du temps de la Chambre lors de la l\u00e9gislature pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente. Au moment de la dissolution du Parlement, au moins 17 projets de loi d'initiative minist\u00e9rielle \u00e9taient encore inscrits au Feuilleton, en d\u00e9pit du fait que le gouvernement ait eu recours \u00e0 l'attribution de temps des dizaines de fois. De plus, il y avait 13 motions de cl\u00f4ture et 40 motions proposant de passer \u00e0 l'ordre du jour, ce qui \u00e9cartait la possibilit\u00e9 que les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de l'opposition puissent pr\u00e9senter des motions d'adoption ou d\u00e9poser des p\u00e9titions au nom des habitants de chacune des 338 circonscriptions du Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071404\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9bat d'aujourd'hui vise \u00e0 rendre la Chambre \u00e0 la population, \u00e0 donner \u00e0 l'opposition officielle, au Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois et au Nouveau Parti d\u00e9mocratique un jour d'opposition suppl\u00e9mentaire, respectivement, pendant la p\u00e9riode d'\u00e9tude des cr\u00e9dits, afin de donner \u00e0 chacun de ces partis l'occasion de soulever des questions avant d'octroyer des cr\u00e9dits au gouvernement lib\u00e9ral.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071405\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je n'ai pas besoin de rappeler \u00e0 la Chambre le m\u00e9pris dont le Parti lib\u00e9ral a fait preuve envers cette institution dans le pass\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071406\" data-originallang=\"en\">Lors de la l\u00e9gislature pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente, lorsqu'il a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 un de ses tout premiers projets de loi, le <a data-HoCid=\"8177165\" href=\"/bills/42-1/C-14/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code and to make related amendments to other Acts (medical assistance in dying)\">C-14</a>, la loi sur l'aide m\u00e9dicale \u00e0 mourir, le gouvernement a \u00e9t\u00e9 reconnu coupable du non-respect des droits et des privil\u00e8ges de la Chambre pour avoir laiss\u00e9 fuir le contenu du projet de loi aux m\u00e9dias avant m\u00eame qu'il soit d\u00e9pos\u00e9 et que tous les parlementaires puissent en prendre connaissance. Les vieilles habitudes ont la vie dure, car il semblerait que les lib\u00e9raux ont r\u00e9cidiv\u00e9, cette fois-ci, avec le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"10648716\" href=\"/bills/43-1/C-7/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Criminal Code (medical assistance in dying)\">C-7</a>, qui propose des modifications concernant l'aide m\u00e9dicale \u00e0 mourir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071407\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les conservateurs n'ont pas besoin non plus de rappeler aux lib\u00e9raux les cons\u00e9quences qu'ils doivent subir quand ils essaient d'employer des mesures draconiennes pour clore le d\u00e9bat \u00e0 la Chambre. Nous nous rappelons tous la motion n<sup>o</sup> 6, avec laquelle ils ont essay\u00e9 de contr\u00f4ler unilat\u00e9ralement tous les m\u00e9canismes de d\u00e9bat \u00e0 la Chambre. Nous n'avons pas \u00e0 rappeler aux lib\u00e9raux l'impasse dans le dossier de la modification du R\u00e8glement, lorsqu'ils ont essay\u00e9, en modifiant unilat\u00e9ralement le R\u00e8glement de la Chambre, de r\u00e9duire le nombre d'occasions o\u00f9 l'opposition peut demander des comptes au gouvernement. Il incombait aux conservateurs, en tant qu'opposition officielle, et au troisi\u00e8me parti, le Nouveau Parti d\u00e9mocratique, de constituer cette mince ligne de d\u00e9fense emp\u00eachant le gouvernement d'apporter ces modifications.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071408\" data-originallang=\"en\">D'ailleurs, lors d'un d\u00e9bat que la Chambre a tenu pendant la l\u00e9gislature pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente au sujet d'une question de privil\u00e8ge \u2014 donc l'une des questions les plus importantes dont la Chambre puisse \u00eatre saisie \u2014, une d\u00e9put\u00e9e lib\u00e9rale, la d\u00e9put\u00e9e de <a data-HoCid=\"252607\" href=\"/politicians/alexandra-mendes/\" title=\"Alexandra Mendes\">Brossard\u2014Saint-Lambert</a>, a employ\u00e9 une mesure proc\u00e9durale pour que nous passions \u00e0 l'ordre du jour et que l'on mette ainsi fin au d\u00e9bat. Cependant, le Parlement est plus fort qu'un seul d\u00e9put\u00e9 lib\u00e9ral. \u00c0 l'\u00e9poque, le Pr\u00e9sident a jug\u00e9 bon de renvoyer la question de privil\u00e8ge \u00e0 la Chambre pour que les d\u00e9put\u00e9s puissent se faire entendre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071409\" data-originallang=\"en\">On voit souvent ce genre d'attitude de la part du gouvernement lib\u00e9ral. Chaque fois qu'il a l'occasion de faire ce qui est juste, il fait le contraire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071410\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cela m'am\u00e8ne \u00e0 parler des \u00e9v\u00e9nements dont nous avons \u00e9t\u00e9 t\u00e9moins dans les derni\u00e8res semaines en ce qui concerne le nouvel ALENA. Ce n'est ni un excellent accord ni le pire des accords; la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 se situe quelque part entre les deux. Notre parti est celui du libre-\u00e9change et nous appuyons la mise en \u0153uvre du nouvel ALENA, malgr\u00e9 ses imperfections. Cependant, entendre la <a data-HoCid=\"253365\" href=\"/politicians/chrystia-freeland/\" title=\"Chrystia Freeland\">vice-premi\u00e8re ministre</a> d\u00e9clarer publiquement dans cette enceinte que le Parti conservateur a en quelque sorte tent\u00e9 de retarder la mise en \u0153uvre de cet accord est une insulte envers l'opposition et la Chambre des communes.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071411\" data-originallang=\"en\">Hier encore, la <a data-HoCid=\"224944\" href=\"/politicians/candice-hoeppner/\" title=\"Candice Bergen\">leader \u00e0 la Chambre de l'opposition</a> a donn\u00e9 aux lib\u00e9raux l'occasion de r\u00e9parer leurs torts en d\u00e9battant de l'ALENA aujourd'hui. Nous pourrions \u00eatre en train d'en d\u00e9battre aujourd'hui et je pourrais faire part des pr\u00e9occupations des habitants de Perth\u2014Wellington, des agriculteurs, des fabricants, des personnes qui sont inqui\u00e8tes au sujet du projet de loi. Toutefois, au nom du gouvernement, le <a data-HoCid=\"253848\" href=\"/politicians/kevin-lamoureux/\" title=\"Kevin Lamoureux\">secr\u00e9taire parlementaire du leader du gouvernement \u00e0 la Chambre</a> a dit non, que le gouvernement ne serait pas dispos\u00e9 \u00e0 d\u00e9battre de l'ALENA. C'est inacceptable. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071412\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous sommes ici aujourd'hui pour d\u00e9battre de cette motion de l'opposition, une motion qui redonne les droits et les responsabilit\u00e9s de la Chambre \u00e0 tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s. J'encourage tous les d\u00e9put\u00e9s \u00e0 d\u00e9fendre leur privil\u00e8ge parlementaire, \u00e0 d\u00e9fendre la d\u00e9mocratie et \u00e0 voter pour cette motion.</p>"

That is no secret. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071414\" data-originallang=\"en\">Not only will this motion today delay government bills, but it seeks to change a fundamental balance that was struck way back in 1968 to give the opposition party time to debate motions of its choosing in exchange for an agreement to pass supply in one day. This balance and framework has remained intact for over half a century, until today.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071415\" data-originallang=\"en\">Opposition days are very important when they bring to light an issue that is of material concern to the country, a province, a region or a group of Canadians.

This is a blatant attempt to change the rules of the House of Commons in less than four hours.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071416\" data-originallang=\"en\">In the last Parliament, the government brought forward what I viewed to be a sensible proposal to study certain rule changes.

This is remarkable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071417\" data-originallang=\"en\">I thought the long-standing principle was to have this done by consensus.

Why did they not do this in PROC, where it should have been done?</p>",

The Conservatives are playing silly tricks and gotcha politics because they are on the defensive, trying to slow down this important bill.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071440\" data-originallang=\"en\">We did the responsible thing. We took time to review it and then agreed with it and moved it again ourselves. However, once we moved it again ourselves, the Conservatives opposed it. There was no consent. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071441\" data-originallang=\"en\">The actions of the Conservatives on this merely show their current desperation, and they are on the wrong side of history of this important issue.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6071438\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, avant de commencer mon discours, je voudrais clarifier quelque chose que la <a data-HoCid=\"224944\" href=\"/politicians/candice-hoeppner/\" title=\"Candice Bergen\">leader \u00e0 la Chambre de l'opposition</a> a dit dans son discours. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071439\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Elle a affirm\u00e9 que les lib\u00e9raux s'\u00e9taient oppos\u00e9s \u00e0 une motion qui demandait l'adoption acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9e de la loi de mise en \u0153uvre de l'Accord Canada\u2014\u00c9tats-Unis\u2014Mexique. M\u00eame si elle parle de collaboration avec les autres partis, elle omet de dire que le texte de la motion en question avait \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9ment communiqu\u00e9 \u00e0 la toute derni\u00e8re minute, ce qui fait qu'il n'y avait plus assez de temps pour \u00e9tudier le libell\u00e9. Les conservateurs manigancent et cherchent des fa\u00e7ons de nous prendre en d\u00e9faut parce qu'ils sont sur la d\u00e9fensive et qu'ils veulent ralentir l'adoption de cet important projet de loi. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071440\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons agi de fa\u00e7on responsable. Nous avons pris le temps d'\u00e9tudier la motion puis, lorsque nous avons d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de l'appuyer, nous l'avons pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e de nouveau nous-m\u00eames. Or, une fois que la motion a \u00e9t\u00e9 de nouveau pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e, les conservateurs s'y sont oppos\u00e9s. Ils n'ont pas donn\u00e9 leur consentement. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6071441\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les actions des conservateurs dans ce dossier montrent \u00e0 quel point ils sont d\u00e9sesp\u00e9r\u00e9s; dans cet important dossier, ils se retrouveront du mauvais c\u00f4t\u00e9 de l'histoire. </p>"
