Madam Speaker, I appreciate the member's always thoughtful speech. He is welcome to criticize the government, though hopefully he will do it the proper way.
I mentioned earlier how the NDP, in a debate in 2017, passionately opposed getting around the Standing Orders like this. I gave a quote.
In another quote the former member for Hamilton Centre referred to the report of the special committee on modernization, of which Bob Kilger was the chair, and said:
The Committee's order of reference—like that of the predecessor—required that...any report be adopted by unanimous agreement of all the members.
Further on he said:
...parliamentary reform is best achieved where there is consensus and all-party agreement.
The NDP passionately spoke for many weeks of debate against the changes to the Standing Orders like this without any unanimous support.
Does the member agree that some of his members might vote for this motion and go against the principles they so strongly stated during that debate, which I do not think the member was here for?
