This is an erosion of democracy, and it limits the participation of many in democracy. We hear every single day from our constituents,…

…ok at the legislative agenda. There is Bill C-3, the Citizenship Act; Bill C-4, the carbon tax cut; Bill C-8 respecting cybersecurity; Bill C-5, the one Canadian economy act; and Bill C-9, the combatting hate act, a piece of legislation I know the minister responsible for crime is very keen on.

It may sound like I am rhyming off numbers in a bingo game, but all of these bills would restrict the rights of Canadians. I mentioned censorship, and the Ministe…

… benefit of the doubt, and we have seen this in the context of other legislation too. The Liberals' Bill C-8 and Bill C-22 were both subject to their same pre-emptive defence that they made with Bill C-9, which is, “Don't worry.

…proposals to inspect Canadians' mail without a warrant. Canadians rejected that. We saw it again in Bill C-8, a cybersecurity bill that made sense on the surface but also included sweeping ministerial powers with little oversight. Now we have Bill C-22, and serious concerns remain. One of the biggest concer…
