Then, Mr. Speaker, I humbly ask for clarification and assistance in this matter. If there is a motion passed in the House and if the government chooses to go contrary to that motion and the intent of that motion and the spirit of that motion, who is it in this country that can ultimately enforce that the government has to do what the House decides to do? Is that the job of the Speaker or do we go to a higher power? I do not know what higher power there is than that which is held in your office.
In the House of Commons on December 10th, 2002. See this statement in context.
