Mr. Chair, Mr. Lauzon has just said that we shouldn't get into partisanship. I'm sorry, but we are in politics, and that's what we do in politics. Let's stop making a big deal out of it. There will be partisanship. I really don't like hearing people say that we shouldn't get into partisanship. Then what are we doing here? Come on.
We are told not to get into partisanship, but we are reminded that the government received a majority and that we must remember that it is a majority government—in other words, that we are now going to have to listen to it.
Mr. Chair, with all due respect, I think that, if we want to move forward, we need to know what is on the government's agenda. If there is no partisanship, we should be able to know what is on the agenda of all members of Parliament and make suggestions. Let us hope that we won't end up in some dark corner or that we will have to go out for a beer to find a topic of discussion for the committee. That's almost what this is all about.
We might think that it is not even worth raising questions that will not get these people's approval because they are likely to do what they did this morning; three topics were proposed, and all three were refused.
Is that what the new Conservative majority government is all about? Is that what you are going to do?
