Mr. Speaker, that is the thing that makes me scratch my head.
We here in the House have the opportunity and duty to discuss important subjects like the member mentioned, including the costs that would affect Canadians, including businesses; and what this legislation would do, how it would protect them and how it would continue to spur our development. Unfortunately, the door is continually being slammed shut on the voices of Canadians.
Imagine the individuals who need protection, who look to us to express their voices in the House. Unfortunately, not everyone who has the opportunity to speak in the House can speak because of time allocation. Simply put, it is very bad if a member cannot speak on behalf of his or her constituents because of time allocation. We need to ensure that all voices are heard.
