Madam Speaker, the opposition whip is part of the House leadership team that sent the troops in to burn as much time as they possibly could in the House so they could avoid talking about the bill that would actually help Canadians, a bill that is the fall economic statement, that already has had seven days worth of debate in the House.
Given the fact that the opposition whip has taken the floor, I thought I might be able to ask him a question. Could he possibly enlighten the House as to when the Conservative Party will stop basically filibustering the fall economic statement, which has been debated for seven days already? A normal budget bill is only debated for five days? Could he let us know when he thinks he might be able to allow the House to vote on that?
