Madam Speaker, I always enjoy the member's speeches.

I do not think it will be lost on the media that sat in on the many weeks of discussion on the changing of the Standing Orders, where the Conservatives and NDP passionately voted and spoke against doing it without the consensus of all parties. Now, in a few hours, they want to go totally against that.

I have already given a couple of quotes from the NDP. On the morning of March 21, 2017, the member for Hamilton Centre said that anything you might call a comprehensive or systemic review of the Standing Orders, that report, as other reports have told us, was always done with all-party support.

I am very interested to see on Monday which NDP members vote against their principles and vote for this motion.
