McColeman challenges Liberals to stop blocking legislation that will protect Canadians
(Ottawa) – This afternoon, Brant MP Phil McColeman rose in the House of Commons to make the following statement on the Liberal Party’s treatment of consumer product legislation.
“Mr. Speaker, the Liberal Party of Canada has hit a new low. Under the direction of the Liberal leader, Liberal senators gutted our consumer product legislation. Now health and welfare has been callously stripped off all Canadians by the Liberals.
Instead of trying to prevent problems from happening, the changes made by the Liberals means Canadians will have to endure serious injuries because of an offending stroller, or have their children play with dangerous toys before officials are able to recall.
This is unacceptable. The Liberals have shown such contempt for Canadians that it is now easier to protect the health of animals than it is to protect the health of Canadians.
The Liberal leader must order his senators to vote against these amendments and vote in favour of the bill as it was passed in this House. The Liberal leader needs to take charge of his party. Canadian consumers expect nothing less.”
