Madam Speaker, I am concerned that in speech after speech, we hear a great deal of misinformation being spread.
Let me give an example. The member said that the government has paralyzed the House of Commons. The motion itself says that we should take the issue to the procedure and House affairs committee. Every member who has spoken knows that.
The only reason we are still debating it today is because Conservative after Conservative chooses to stand up, even though it is their motion. It is a Conservative motion that it go to committee. The Conservatives feel that it should continue to be debated endlessly. As a result, we are not able to debate government agenda items that deal with citizenship, victims of sexual assault, online harms and so much more.
How can members opposite justify their actions when they are filibustering their very own motion?
