Mr. Speaker, I sat on a committee with the other member briefly in the past. I actually think lots of work is getting done in the committees. I get lots of work done every day in Ottawa when I am here.
The reason we are not getting any further debate or issues dealt with in government business is wholeheartedly that the government refuses to comply with the Speaker's order. This could all be over tomorrow if the government would just turn over the documents. If the member had listened to my response to the previous question, he would know it is our right and privilege to answer questions or to speak on behalf of our constituents and contribute to the debate. This is the first time I have had a chance to give a speech on this very important matter of privilege.
