Mr. Speaker, earlier it was said that it is not closure the hon. member is talking about here, but time allocation.
Certainly, the way it is playing out right now is an affront to anybody who is elected, no matter where they sit in the House.
There are so many new members in the House from both sides. I have heard many Conservative members speak eloquently about this particular budget; they made their views known.
Yet there are many other brand new MPs who would also like to speak on this budget and this measure. Why does the hon. member not provide this opportunity for his new members to continue the debate and allow them to have their say, based on the fact that their constituents voted for them to do so?
