Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons.
When we talk about time allocation motions, we normally assume that discussions haven taken place with the government leader. There are supposed to be discussions and negotiations. Why is he incapable of holding these discussions and negotiations? Why did he have to use a time allocation motion for the 58th time?
It seems to me that this undermines the credibility of this government, because a government should be capable of negotiating different agreements with other countries. However, the government is proving that it is incapable of sitting down with the opposition parties and having a reasonable discussion.
When I see the government behaving like this, I have no confidence in its ability to negotiate with other countries, even though that is one of its responsibilities.
I would like to know what discussions the government held and why it is incapable of reaching an agreement.
