Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for all the great work he has been doing on pensions, a very important subject in my riding of Sudbury and right across the country.
As for the time allocation motion, the limiting of debate on such an important subject is truly worrisome because so many groups out there will be affected, from small businesses to consumer groups to consumers in general. They need to have their voices expressed in the House. That is our job as the opposition. We are here to make sure that the government is held accountable for its legislation and to make sure that businesses and consumers' voices are heard. Their online survey of 30 respondents, 27 of whom were anonymous, is just one aspect on how time allocation on this bill is wrong.
We need to ensure that we have debate. I would like to see the government allow us that.
