Madam Speaker, the member for St. Catharines talked about a lack of seriousness. I will tell members what the official opposition finds serious. It is the work that the House should have been doing for the last six weeks. The Liberal Prime Minister slammed the door on Parliament, slammed the door on democracy and locked committee rooms. That is what is unconscionable.
We wanted to do work over the last six weeks, not when this benefit was set to end. We wanted to have debate and discussions about it, not wait until the eleventh hour and call it an emergency. We obviously recognize the seriousness of the pandemic, but the business of holding the government to account goes on and so do Liberal scandals, which happen regularly.
It is unfortunate that the member wants to conflate different sets of rules. The conflict of interest code and the Conflict of Interest Act are what we are discussing here today, not other issues.
Was the six-week cover-up prorogation the best that your government could do for Canadians?
