Madam Speaker, I believe we are now on day 11 of the debate on this motion, which could be moved to committee and voted on. The only thing holding that up is more Conservative speakers.
The last time I spoke to the motion, I shared how much money we are spending by having one speaker talk after another. I have an update on those numbers if anyone is curious. As of yesterday, we have had 66 Conservative members speak to the motion. If we only account for the cost of operating the House of Commons for just those 66 members, which is 33 hours of speeches, it is over $2.3 million. As of yesterday, there is the opportunity for 53 more Conservatives to continue wasting money to speak to the motion.
How much more money do the Conservatives want to spend continuing to speak about the same motion? We could vote on it right now if they just stopped speaking.
