Mr. Speaker, here is another version of the facts. You are saying:“We said yes”. No one heard the Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the Treasury Board. Earlier it was yes. Now we are getting a new version to the effect that someone said “no”. Maybe somebody thought “no”. We are here to think, I hope, but also to speak. So now there is a second version.
I hope the decision to give unanimous consent will be honoured. If that does not happen, it will be, as my colleague put it, a very sad comment on debates in this place.
If you uphold the decision, I hope they will explain their opposition and their subservience at the time of the vote later today on hepatitis C. It is the attitude of the irresponsible.
