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.
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.
