What we are doing is enforcing how a parliamentarian should vote. This is something that is, again, without precedent in Canadian parliamentary history. This committee has been meeting now for seven hours. For a bill of this nature, we should be taking 20 to 25 hours. That's how most committees deal with complex legislation.
Instead, what we've seen from the Conservatives and the Liberals is a cutting back, a slicing and dicing of time, so we have no serious consideration of any of these motions. Now we have an enforced vote. The enforced vote is an abstention. You're absolutely forced to it. This is without precedent and it violates parliamentary procedure.
