Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for offering his own clarification as to what he thought democracy was.
If he had been listening to my speech, he would have known that it was not about government bills. The government is here to play a lead role. I was speaking about private members' business, which is not the same thing.
The Leader of the Government in the House said “Members, Liberal members at any rate, vote freely on all private members' bills”.
This, to my knowledge, is not the case.
