  • Re: Bill C-11 
Mr. Speaker, I have a lot of questions about what we have been hearing from the Liberal side today. Let us forget about Bill C‑11 for a second, because I think our colleague has set the record straight. He reminded us that it was actually the Bloc Québécois that proposed fast-tracking it two years ago because of a likely election, meaning the session would end. There has been talk equating being in favour of proposed legislation with being in favour of using a gag order to get it done. I am very concerned about that. We are talking about rights and freedom of speech. I am also concerned about the rights of parliamentarians. We represent the people. The fact that some are equating the two is concerning to me. Should gag orders be the norm? I believe that is what is being suggested.
