Context: House Hansard - 297 - Apr/10/24
Mr. Peter Julian (New Westminster—Burnaby, NDP)

  • Watch
Mr. Speaker, this report, the eighth report, is the report the NDP commissioned. It calls on the government to cancel all plans to increase rents for military accommodations. I just tried to get unanimous consent to get this report adopted. It was not the Liberals, the members of the Bloc Québécois or the independents saying no. It was the Conservatives who said no to the very report they are presenting. Therefore, if they refused to have the report adopted, this is obviously a procedural technique to block the important debate on pharmacare that the NDP initiated, which was on the Order Paper today. Does my colleague find it reprehensible that Conservatives are blocking the adoption of the report, which would lead to cancelling those rent increases? Why are they blocking this important debate on pharmacare that will help millions of Canadians?
