Mr. Speaker, I keep hearing Liberal members say how important this issue is and how seriously we should take the issue of a member's access to the chamber being denied, yet last week, on Thursday, the government moved to cut off this debate entirely. It would not even allow members of Parliament to vote to refer this matter to committee.
How can the government be taken seriously in saying that this is a serious matter when it denied members of Parliament the right to vote to send it to committee?
