Madam Speaker, I think that my colleague's testimony and question say it all.
Today, the government is trying to do indirectly what it cannot do directly: dictate to the opposition how work is to proceed.
I think that, given all his personal and professional qualities, the government House leader could have made more of an effort to try to secure the co-operation of all House leaders. If he had accepted to negotiate one-on-one, he would have been able to better demonstrate the importance he places on democracy, discussion, negotiation and parliamentary politics.
