One wonders what that idealistic young man would have made of the Liberal Party’s latest electoral manoeuvre – supporting a Bloc Québécois sponsored bill to make concessions on supply management in future trade deals illegal, while secretly working to frustrate the legislation’s passage into law? It is hardly the “real change” he sold voters on six years ago.
The Liberal plan appears to be to support the bill in the House, enabling Quebec Liberal MPs to boast of their supply management bona fides in an election, and then grind things to a halt in committee, so that the legislation dies on the order paper when Parliament rises.
