Yes, what is right, absolutely, Mel....
Wayne Easter, another one of your long-time and learned colleagues, yesterday in a comment about the privilege motion before the House made comments to this effect as well.
Let's just get together and do things that are right for Parliament. We are willing to talk at any time. I can assure you that Candice, as our House leader, has offered on several occasions to sit down to see whether we can hammer out some sort of agreement here.
I don't particularly like filibustering for hours on end, but I will, as will all of my colleagues, because we have to. If we don't, it will allow your government to unilaterally change the Standing Orders by pumping it through a committee report. We simply can't allow that to happen, and I firmly believe that anyone who has a solid knowledge of parliamentary procedure would agree with us.
We've talked about the Paul Szabos and the Derek Lees, and there are many, many others. Consult them, if you don't believe me. Don't take my word for it—I don't expect you to—but consult some of these procedural experts and get their opinions. You will find that they do not agree with the approach you are trying to take.
