I'll be very quick, Mr. Chair.
I just want to ask my Bloc friends who spoke earlier what their response would have been on Bill C-501, which we just dealt with here at this committee. There were 14 clauses, I think, or 15 clauses, and two that you agreed with. Because we were able to go clause by clause, you were able to support two clauses in that private member's bill and you were able, with us, to defeat other clauses.
I want the same right: to be able to make the arguments for this bill. Why are you denying me that right, the same right that you had two weeks ago on Bill C-501? I think it's only fair that we go clause by clause.
Thank you. I'm on the record for that.
