Mr. Speaker, I am not avoiding anything. I participated in the committee that created the instrument being utilized right now so we could answer questions on particular issues, not to spend half an hour asking ridiculous questions. The hon. member was not part of that committee. Someone else represented his party. He and his colleagues voted in favour of having this instrument.
There is nothing democratic about obstructionism on the part of opposition. That is not democracy. It is the denial of it. There are instruments that say we can move to limit time. Every bill in the U.K. House is limited to one day. The motion that we are proposing now carried without any debate just a couple of years ago. It is an abuse of the time of the House to want us to restart every bill. That is the kind of thing the opposition wants us to do, and it is not democratic. It has nothing to do with democracy at all.
