Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate my colleague from Winnipeg Centre on his eloquent speech, in which he clearly explained the negative effects of prorogation, not to mention most of the decisions the government has made since coming to power.
The Conservatives needed to have their memories refreshed because since earlier today, the Conservative members have been standing up one after the other to whine and complain. They say the opposition does not want to let them move forward and do their work. They claim that we are blocking them at every turn when it is their own government's fault. Their Prime Minister, their government leader decided that we would have to waste our time today talking about a prorogation that was essentially meaningless because they are the majority and they intend to put all of the bills they want back on the agenda anyway. It is absolutely ridiculous.
I heard members in the far reaches of the back benches across the way shouting and uttering little cries of false indignation. My colleague must have touched a nerve or two.
I would like the member to explain to my colleagues yet again why it is undemocratic to prorogue in an attempt to run away from Senate scandals, only to bring back all of the bills that should have been dropped.
