I am sorry to interrupt my colleague, but I see that almost all our Liberal colleagues have raised their hands.
Are we systematically filibustering to prevent this motion from being adopted by the end of the hour?
Ms. Sahota has already been speaking for 25 minutes and she doesn't seem to have finished. I have asked for the floor, but I get the impression that they do not intend to let us speak on the subject.
So, if they're trying to prevent the motion from passing by the end of the day, we could just adjourn the meeting and go home.
I find what I am witnessing at the moment extremely deplorable. It seems to me that government members are systematically filibustering to prevent the adoption of this motion, amended or not. Yet, having spoken with Ms. McPherson and with the minister, I came here in a spirit of compromise, and I find that few of my colleagues are acting in the same spirit. At least not many on the government side.
I'm a bit exasperated by what's going on right now. Let me point that out to you, Mr. Chair.
