Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech, which I listened to closely.
He called on the government to give a real argument against forming a committee. I would ask him to explain why the NDP did not support the Bloc Québécois amendment calling for all parties to be represented on this committee, whether they are recognized or not.
In his speech he talked about a democracy that should go beyond words and move into actions. I would turn the question back to him. I would like the democracy promoted by the NPD to go beyond words and move into action.
Why did the NDP not accept the Bloc Québécois amendment? Let them stop hiding behind the rules.
