Madam Speaker, that is an issue I would enjoy greatly commenting on.
I did have an opportunity to review Hansard on that very subject. I found quotations from my Liberal colleagues when they sat in these very benches. The quotations were vicious and ferocious on the issue of time allocation and closure. They called it the most egregious and worst thing that could happen. In fact, from a medical man's perspective, I thought that high blood pressure might have caused mortal harm to some of them they were so upset.
An interesting and fascinating process seems to happen when a party crosses the floor from opposition to the government benches. It is a fascinating process. Some would call it the brain drain. I would not be so unkind as to say that none of my colleagues opposite have lost their marbles.
There are times when opposition parties obstruct the process. I recognize that is why time allocation is used.
On a bill that important, the attempt to obstruct travel, which failed and the attempt to obstruct debate, which will fail, that bill will be known to the Canadian public by the time we are through with it, I guarantee that. It is too important to allow a government bound and determined to shut down debate to be successful. I thank my colleague for that opportunity.
