Mr. Speaker, I will be brief. The government has now broken the all time record set by Brian Mulroney for shutting down debate in the House. Mulroney used closure 66 times but with this government we are up to 67.
Let me quote the government House leader back in his purer times when he was in the opposition. He said:
I am shocked...This government has used closure on dozens and dozens of occasions. This is just terrible.
How hard was it for the Prime Minister to force his House leader to abandon his principles 67 times and counting?
