Mr. Speaker, I find it hard to understand how a government that uses closure could then say “We used closure, you can no longer talk, but we will do the talking now”. Before closure, government members are silent. The opposition must do all the work. Then, when the government imposes closure, its members want to do all the talking. I think a review of House procedure is in order.
In the House of Commons on May 13th, 1999. See this statement in context.
