  • Re: Bill C-11 
Mr. Speaker, this week, Quebec expressed its concern about Bill C-11 by sending the government a letter and adopting a unanimous motion. Quebec's request is simple. It wants a provision to be added to Bill C-11 that will require the government to consult Quebec on the CRTC's potential responsibilities. The response from the Bloc-Liberal alliance is a hard no. We, the Conservatives, are bringing Quebec's legitimate request before the House. The question is very simple. Will this government agree to convene the parliamentary committee to debate Quebec's proposal?

  • Re: Bill C-11 
Mr. Speaker, the Quebec National Assembly has twice asked to be heard by this government on Bill C-11. However, with the Bloc Québécois's support, co-operation and complicity, the feds just do the work by themselves. The government is maintaining its extremely centralizing, unilateral and heavy-handed position of giving the federal cabinet more powers to tell Quebeckers what the CRTC will let them watch. Maybe the Bloc Québécois agrees with that, but we do not. Will the Bloc-Liberal alliance finally let the Government of Quebec be heard?
