Mr. Speaker, my question is for the government House leader. He is the instrument that is used to bring in time allocation.
As has been pointed out, this majority Conservative/Reform Party government has now brought in time allocation a record high number of times. No other government in the history of Canada has brought in time allocation or used it in the manner the current government has. That is not to mention the huge budget implementation bills that have ramifications for numerous pieces of legislation. The Conservatives almost sneak a legislative agenda into these budget legislation bills.
Why is the government House leader being so disrespectful to basic democracy in the House of Commons?
