Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the Chief Government Whip for his presentation. The problem I have with the motion in front of us is simply the House needs to debate it. It simply is not true that any committee that might have been sitting behind closed doors has had a fulsome opportunity to look at all the potential weaknesses and faults that the motion brings forward.
The House needs to have the opportunity to discuss this. The Chief Government Whip is not allowing that discussion to occur in the House.
We are talking about the House having precedence over government institutions. The purpose of this place is to have oversight over government institutions. We would now have a government institution imposed upon this place. We have turned this upside down.
The House needs to take its job seriously. I suggest the members from the other side take this job a lot more seriously than they are prepared to show today.
