The member for Berthier-Maskinongé, Yves Perron, took stock of the last parliamentary session indicating that he was proud of the work accomplished, whether in terms of his record as spokesperson or his training. politics in general.
“It is incredible to see that among all the political groups sitting in the House of Commons, the only one that has been constant, rigorous and mature is that formed by independentists. We are the only ones in this Parliament who do not want to govern Canada and yet, the other political parties have shown us in the current chaos that they do not have the skills to do so. And now, to add to the government’s lackluster session, the departure of Chrystia Freeland is added to that of eight other ministers and the mutiny of dozens of Liberal MPs. Justin Trudeau has lost control of his ministerial team and no longer has the legitimacy to govern without the population entrusting him with a new mandate. He must call elections,” he explained in a press release.
He maintains that the Bloc Québécois remained the adult in the room while the government collapsed as demonstrated by the resignation of the Minister of Finance.
“Thanks to us, Quebec’s interests were put forward throughout the fall session. We defended our elders with conviction, we demanded accountability for responsible and successful immigration to ensure the dignity of people who return to make a life here, we brought together nearly 250 agricultural entrepreneurs under supply management on the Hill. Seriously, what we accomplished is impressive! When you think about it, the only bills that will have received attention in Ottawa and in the media this session are those of the Bloc Québécois. For all this, I am proud of the work accomplished.”
However, Mr. Perron let it be known that as of last Tuesday, the progress of Bill C-282 had been slowed down by several senators.
Despite two politicians promising not to obstruct, he says the vote was pushed back until after the holidays because several of their colleagues from all groups of senators complicated things by using various tactics of procedure in addition to negotiating dishonestly.
“It’s a really frustrating situation, because the Senate does not have a timetable or strict rules to govern its work, unlike the House of Commons. This allows people who oppose the various bills of elected officials to gain time to put them to death on the order paper, without bearing the odium of opposing the will of the deputies who represent the population. There is something profoundly undemocratic in the way this institution operates. These senators seriously disrespect those who get up early in the morning, Monday to Sunday, to feed our population. It is their system which allows everyone to have a fair and equitable price that unelected people are attacking. We will definitely have to increase the pressure.”
