Honourable sena
tors, there is much more to be said about Bill C-38, but most regrettably the government has made it c
lear that it has no interest in hearing any of it — no interest in amendments, even though the Finance Minister himself admitted the bill was not without flaws; no interest in serious study of the bill; no inter
est in hearing from Canadians; and, honourable senators, given its use again and again of time allocatio
...[+++]n, no interest in even hearing what its own caucus members have to say.
Honorables sénateurs, nous pourrions dire encore beaucoup de choses sur le projet de loi C-38, mais, à notre grand regret, le gouvernement a indiqué clairement qu'il ne voulait rien entendre. Il ne s'intéresse pas aux propositions d'amendement, même si le ministre des Finances a lui-même admis que le projet de loi n'était pas sans faille.
