Mr. Speaker, my colleague and I are both graduates of the same public affairs program at Carleton. It is a good place to go to learn all about parliamentary procedure.
I want to ask the member to highlight the importance of the fight that we are undertaking on behalf of parliamentary democracy. This is really about responsible government. It is about the fact that the executive must be accountable to the legislature and the legislature has certain rights on which the executive cannot trample.
This is a big and consequential fight for the way in which our democracy works. These procedural points all inform that broader issue.
I wonder if the member could comment on that and speak to the fact that Canadians are concerned about this and they are writing to us about these issues.
