…embers over there are taking a very hypocritical action. That is for sure. I stand today to address Bill C-31 and division 16 of that bill.

…t announced were well under way. That was more performative than anything. What I would say is that Bill C-31 is proof that in year 11, the Liberals continue to put forward legislation that keeps the same failed logic we have come to expect.
