Mr. Speaker, I am afraid my hon. colleague does not understand how this works. We are not talking about the $34 million to the Senate, which is not under the purview of the House, and so it would continue to carry on its ability to do its function. We are talking about the portion that belongs to the House of Commons, the $57 million. My hon. colleague needs to have a better sense of how parliamentary procedure works.
In the House of Commons on June 10th, 2014. See this statement in context.
