Mr. Speaker, I guess it is a question of relativity as to which one of the two coalition partners in the House are the most disorganized. I have seen the government trying to recover from the prorogation debacle of a few months ago where it torched its 36 bills, 19 tough on crime bills. Does it bring them all back in at the beginning of the session like it should have to allow the opposition to pick and choose which ones it wants to pass? No. The Conservatives wait on the pardon legislation and call it two days before the end of the session. If that is not either just plan stupidity or brinkmanship, I am not sure which one, but it has to be one of the two.
I would not take the view that somehow the Liberals are a bunch of incompetents here. The Conservatives are the government. They are supposed to be organized. They are supposed to have their legislative agenda in order and are responsible for getting things through.
I really want to compliment them and the minister for his refugee bill. He did a great job on that as did Parliament. We need more of that. I ask the government to live up to what Pearson did when he was in a minority situation. It should set some goals and try to attain them rather than to try to torch committees and short-circuit the process and cause all kinds of problems. Why does the government not set a goal to get some real legislation through—
