Mr. Speaker, I think my question is very similar to that of my friend from the Bloc.
I have been here for five years, and I think that this is the first time I have seen the House in violent agreement with the content of a motion while members are refusing to vote on that same motion so a committee could do the work that is called for in the motion. If I were a Canadian sitting up in the gallery, I would be rightly confused by the little game being played. The reality, of course, is that the Conservatives are simply holding up the business of the House as a way to try to force the production of these documents, something which, incidentally, is not called for in the content of the motion being debated.
Why does my friend from the Conservative Party feel it is appropriate for the business of the House to be held up for so long when what he is calling for, and what he just spoke to, is not actually in the content of the motion his party has put forward?
