Mr. Speaker, I am glad the member opposite has raised the topic of being reasonable.
Is his party being reasonable by tabling hundreds of clippings from old newspapers in the House of Commons instead of sharing the views of his party? No. This is not being reasonable.
The government has simply tried to advance the bill to the next stage. We have said we were ready to hear up to 45 witnesses in committee, provided that doing so did not delay proceedings. The members opposite have not, to date, managed to call more than a few.
