Madam Speaker, Conservative MPs have been relentless in their attempt to shut down Parliament.
Their tactics have included a 30-hour voting marathon temper tantrum, filibustering the sustainable jobs bill by moving over 20,000 amendments, filibustering the Métis self-government bill, blocking the debate on the Canada-Ukraine free trade agreement multiple times and moving procedural motions to block debate in this House on one out of every three days this fall session.
Despite these childish games, the government has still been able to deliver for Canadians. We have expanded dental care to seniors, passed the Affordable Housing and Groceries Act, and adopted a national framework for a school food program.
I am hopeful that after the Leader of the Opposition has a time out over the holidays, he will come back and actually get ready to work for Canadians.
