Mr. Speaker, nothing would be nearer and dearer to my heart than to make this place work better. I note the words by my hon. colleague that he wants to speed the process up.
My point concerns why we denied unanimous consent to your not reading the motions. It is not speed that is important but that Canadians be heard in this Parliament. We would gladly grant unanimous consent provided we could have an assurance from this government that it will allow a reasonable debate until the people have been heard. When we have that assurance we will gladly give you the authority to table the motions all in one. But at the moment it is withheld.
