Madam Speaker, I would like to thank the member for St. John's East for his speech. He brings such a lot of experience and wisdom to this place, especially around this subject, which he knows well.
We are debating a motion of privilege here tonight, which seems to bring up a pattern of behaviour from the government. It is a pattern of a lack of transparency and a lack of openness. In terms of committees, we have seen the government thwart the work of committees through filibusters to stop the production of documents and to stop important witnesses from coming forward.
We have also seen a pattern of ignoring the will of the House. Just last week we had a unanimous motion in the House that, among other things, asked the government to stop taking indigenous kids to court. Monday the government was back, taking indigenous kids to court.
Would the member like to comment on this pattern?
