Mr. Speaker, my question is for the government House leader who in March in this House invited me to bring to his attention excessive use of time allocation and closure.
I would like to share some quotes with the House on the subject of closure. The member for Ottawa-Vanier said that it was far from being democratic. The member for Winnipeg St. James called it a draconian device. The member for Kingston and the Islands said it was morally wicked. These are quotes from Liberal members who now sit on the other side of the House.
Does the government House leader concur with his colleagues' description of closure mechanisms?
