Madam Speaker, first off, on the issue of dilatory motions, and I have said this before, there are two block parties in the House of Commons: the Bloc Québécois and the block everything party, which is of course the Conservative caucus.
Members will recall, and I remember this vividly because it was a piece of legislation that I felt was important to be debated, that last spring we had an evening session, and the Conservatives spent the entire evening with motions on who should be heard from among the Conservative caucus. They actually wasted the entire evening at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars. We sat and watched the Conservatives stand up and move dilatory motions that this member be now heard and that member be now heard, and we were supposed to vote on them. It was a complete and colossal waste of time.
This is why the Conservatives should really step up and be serious about the work that we do in the House.
