He's right. I should have just said, “Be quiet.”
I was about to say to Mr. Lukiwski—I almost got diverted, but I shan't be—I know how this ends. One will recall that we're now past the appointed time and the government has made it very clear that they have no intention of adjourning this committee until the amendment is passed. At best we could delay for a period of time, but at the end of the day the vote will be the same and the government has a majority, as we well know, and they will win this vote like they win every vote.
I think I have pretty much said what I need to say, except at some point, Chair—and it's through the people who are here watching on behalf of Canadians—somebody needs to take a really good look at what is going on in this country in terms of the dictatorial powers and authoritative approach of the Prime Minister and this government, and this is just more evidence of that. This is unprecedented, this going after the leader of the official opposition in a way that is consistent with the way they went after the PBO, that's consistent with the way they went after the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. For goodness' sake, they went after the integrity of Madam Sheila Fraser, who has more integrity in her baby finger than the entire Conservative caucus combined. They went after her integrity.
There are no limits. They got less than 40% of the vote, and they're going to use 100% of the power available in this G-7 country to have their way no matter what it is or who it is.
I'm done. Thanks, Chair.
