Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to hear the hon. member speak of this whole matter, of what is reasonable and what is not.
The government introduced the bill in the House in December. It has been before the House since then. Who was it who spent all their time tabling press clippings in the House instead of debating the bill? The Bloc Quebecois. Is this reasonable? Who is it who spent all their time tabling motions to hold up the debate? The members across the floor. Is this reasonable? No.
The government has been reasonable. The ones who have not been reasonable in this matter are the opposition.
