I think the movie is edifying for us regarding the role of a parliamentarian. We would all like to think that our constituents think that's the role we have. The challenges he faces are the challenges which I think most Canadians would hope that we have, one of which is that this is not an easy job both for family and for making decisions about how we vote. At the end of the day, how we vote is the most unique thing about our job, and it's not just the standing and sitting for recorded votes, but the substance of our work is to vote.
I'm afraid that with this motion, without the amendment, some of the changes to the special orders and the Standing Orders, the provisional Standing Orders, could result in our not being able to have a vote on certain things, in our being unable to have an opportunity to speak on behalf of our constituents to the fullest extent that we want to, or to move a motion at committee in the way that we want to, perhaps a dilatory motion or perhaps not. That's my concern, that without this, some of us may lose our ability to represent our constituents to the fullest.
Sometimes that requires us to do things that obstruct others, to slow things down and make this place less efficient, but again, that efficiency concept, as I mentioned before, is all about doing things faster.
I see that Mr. Simms is enjoying that one.
