Mr. Speaker, I understand all about delegated authority. It is the delegation of authority over a huge number of issues in this Parliament that I am having a considerable amount of difficulty with.
I am not saying that the delegation of authority started now; it got started earlier into areas that I would say are pretty substantive and that should be debated in the House.
I cited just one case, but I can think of many others as well. However, I do not think the hon. member wants to stay here all night listening to the litany of examples I could give. He is only staying till midnight, and not beyond that, from what I have heard.
The other thing I want to say is that there has to be a role for Parliament. I can see the need for limited regulatory delegation, but I find the way the government uses delegated authority interferes with parliamentary democracy.
