Mr. Speaker, today's debate goes beyond the motion put forth by the Bloc Quebecois. It is about the very essence of why we are in the House from all parts of the country. We are here to debate and to vote on issues. That is what the House is all about.
In times of crisis like the events of the last couple of weeks Canadians are looking to the government for leadership. Canadians want their representatives to debate, to vote and to support the government on issues that would make us feel more secure. Take note debates are really an excuse for not having real debates in the House.
The government has a majority. What harm would debating and voting on issues in the House have on the government?
