What does a fellow do for two hours in the House of Commons any more?
The need for this motion is obvious to those on this side of the House. We have said continuously in the 35th Parliament and the 36th Parliament that we are sick and tired of standing up in this House expressing the viewpoints of those people we represent across this country to seats that are empty.
Time and time again, we come into this House. We stand here. We try to do what we can for people across this country. We try to get our points across and we stand here and talk to maybe one person who is reading a newspaper who does not have the least bit of interest in what opposition parties say in this country. They are told what to do time and time again by the Prime Minister and the cabinet.
I guess it is time now that we are getting close to the end of June that we have this debate and we extend it as long as we have to.
It is ironic. Here it is the 10th of June today.
