Honorables sénateurs, non seulement l'approche est-elle arrogante, une insulte au Sénat du Canada, mais j'en comprends en plus que le ministre refuse de venir témoigner parce que le projet de loi ne lui tient pas à coeur. Il était contre, l'est encore, et ne veut surtout pas se jeter dans la gueule du loup en comparaissant devant le Sénat, brisant ainsi la «solidarité du Cabinet».
Honourable senators, not only is that attitude arrogant in its approach, and offensive to the Senate of Canada, but beyond that, it also tells me something else: It tells me that the minister does not want to appear because his heart is not in the legislation; that he was opposed to the legislation, and is still opposed to it, and does not wish to embarrass himself by coming before the Senate and breaking that " cabinet solidarity" which exists.
