Mr. Speaker, recent actions by the Liberal Party have Canadians questioning Liberal motives: 261 days wasted by the Liberal dominated Senate on a bill limiting Senate terms, a principle the Liberal leaders stated his agreement with; continued obstruction of common sense crime legislation that the Liberals claimed to support during the last election campaign; and now an extremely disconcerting turnabout on the Anti-terrorism Act, a move that has been questioned by prominent Liberals like Anne McLellan, John Manley and even their current human rights critic.
Monsieur le Président, les Canadiens mettent en doute les motifs qui ont poussé le Parti libéral à agir comme il l'a fait récemment. Le Sénat à majorité libérale a gaspillé 261 jours en signe d'opposition à un projet de loi visant à limiter la durée du mandat des sénateurs, principe auquel le chef du Parti libéral avait pourtant souscrit.
