QUOTE OF THE DAY:
Mr. Speaker, the CSN is adding its voice to the Assembly of First Nations. It even joins a few Liberal MPs and, no doubt, a few ministers who prefer to remain silent. They are the ones we are addressing as the vote approaches. Bill C‑5 makes it possible to circumvent all environmental measures and suspend nearly all legislation by order in council. It is the most authoritarian bill since the Emergencies Act. Will the ministers who disagree have the courage to oppose it before it is too late?
-Bloc Québécois MP Marilène Gill (Côte-Nord—Kawawachikamach—Nitassinan, Que.)
