Parliament Quotes

You always draw from your roots. I’m influenced by everything I hear and see, and that includes music today, but obviously I go back to my early influences: Stevie Wonder, Parliament, Earth, Wind and Fire, Ohio Players, Average White Band. Those kind of artists are what I look to. When I hear that stuff on the radio, I turn it up! Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a highly political home. My mother was the co-chair of the 300 Group, an organisation whose aim was to get more women MPs into parliament, and she herself stood in the 1987 election, the year before she died Picture Quote #1

I was tenaciously opposed by the governor and deputy-governor of the Bank, who had seats in parliament, and I had the City for an antagonist on almost every occasion Picture Quote #1

When I first came into parliament, there was, on average, a by-election every three months - due not to MPs bailing out, but because of the death rate Picture Quote #1

The first law I passed in my cabinet was a law eliminating the double salary for the prime minister and the ministers. I have a salary as member of parliament. I don’t want a double salary. So it was a very important decision Picture Quote #1

It is not the Government, the members of Parliament to whom the ultimate decision belongs, it is up to you to go forward sure of your sacred right of free opinion, sure of your patriotism Picture Quote #1

I think we can get respect for Parliament back providing governments and oppositions are frank Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been really uninterested in politicians and the acts of the Houses of Parliament, or government as an idea. But I’m interested in politics in that I’m a member of the world, and I have strong feelings of right and wrong, but I can’t get into the ins and outs of it Picture Quote #1

We need a global parliament, a global government and possibly a global ministry for security Picture Quote #1

The rights of Englishmen are derived from God, not from king or Parliament, and would be secured by the study of history, law, and tradition Picture Quote #1

He may be incensed, said Dizzy. I’ve never doubted the old parson’s faith, but it has no place in politics. Good God, just imagine if each man allowed himself to be swayed by moral compunctions; we’d never get a damned thing accomplished in Parliament Picture Quote #1

With a close parliament, if the Government wants to get a good outcome for the nation, they can’t play a game of lying to the public about what’s in their own legislation. They can’t do that Picture Quote #1

The absence of political personalities in the government will help rather than hinder a solid base of support for the government in parliament and in the political parties because it will remove one ground for disagreement Picture Quote #1

We’ll support the government on issues if it’s essential to the country but our primary responsibility is not to prop up the government, our responsibility is to provide an opposition and an alternative government for Parliament and for Canadians Picture Quote #1

I foresee a Liberal vote so massive and the number of Liberal MPs so great that we shall hold the initiative in the new Parliament Picture Quote #1

It is, and long has been my opinion, and I have heard honourable members in this House declare it to be theirs - that it is the duty of Parliament equally to protect all the different interests in the country Picture Quote #1
