Madam Speaker, people watching this debate over the last several days want to know where the government and Liberal speakers are on this bill.
As a matter of fact, we have an 880-page grab bag, Bill C-9, an omnibus bill, and we do not have the appropriate minister listening to the debate so we can ask questions. The Minister of State for Democratic Reform was here for Bill C-10. The Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism was here for his bill and, not only did he listen to the debate, but actually asked the first question, which was appreciated by the House.
We want to know where the finance minister is, why he is not listening to the debates and why he is not here to answer questions on this 880-page bill.
