One of the backbenchers as far back as one can get has asked me to sit down. That is just arrogance from the Liberal Party. I represent the people of Langley and Abbotsford in British Columbia who do not wish me to sit down. I am here to speak my piece.
I bring to the attention of the House a couple of other problems the government has. Recently the government bypassed the House of Commons and delivered bills directly to the Senate. Again it shows the arrogance of the government in its understanding of the House of Commons, its rights, privileges and responsibilities.
It is bad enough that closure is called in the House. It is bad enough that through other technical means debate on legislation such as Bill C-10 is limited. It is worse and it is appalling that already four bills have gone directly to the Senate and have not been initiated in the House of Commons.
There are more bills in the Senate than we have debated in the House of Commons. I wonder what the government is thinking.
