Madam Speaker, I find the member is somewhat cherry-picking the way he wants to apply rules and tradition. He made reference to former prime minister Stephen Harper. In four years, he brought in different forms of time allocation and closure over 100 times. All one needs to do is take a look. We can even consider the Conservatives when they are in opposition. To their credit, in December, they requested unanimous consent for the conversion therapy legislation. There was no debate whatsoever, and we are very grateful for it.
Today we have a programming motion that is supported by one of the opposition parties. We have a programming motion dealing with putting money in the pockets of seniors, and it is as simple as that.
Does the member not see the difference, and maybe even realize there might be a bit of hypocrisy in his comments?
