It may well be, Mr. Chair, that we are approaching one of the longest filibusters in this country's history, if we've not already surpassed that mark. I can think of no principle more important than preserving our institutions in terms of the responsible government dimension that is so critical to them. What better cause for a parliamentary filibuster than Parliament itself?
Now, at the same time, my NDP colleague referred to us being “stuck in the mud”. It's not all bad. I mean, they get the benefit of hearing my reflections on things, right?
