Mr. Speaker, the member is my brother's member of Parliament.
Like the member, I have been in the House for many days of debate on the issue, but we are at the stage where we are not hearing anything new. I can summarize the last two weeks: The Liberals and Conservatives have been pointing fingers at each other, saying that each party was worse in government. The fact is that each of these parties is guilty of major scandals and of having withheld documents. They do not shine in the debate. One is actually as bad as the other.
Let us get to what is going on in the House right now. The Conservatives are filibustering their own motion. The House of Commons costs about $70,000 an hour to run. That is a lot of money being burned up right now, and we are doing absolutely nothing.
Like the member, I want to get to the bottom of this. I would love to see the documents, but as long as we are talking this through, we cannot get to the action part. If I were a judge in a case such as this, I would be asking counsel to make their closing arguments. When are we going to get to that stage? When are we going to get to the part where the House can actually take action, vote and proceed to the next question of privilege, which is about calling an individual before the bar to be admonished and to allow the House to ask questions of that individual?
