Mr. Speaker, for starters, to my colleagues in the Bloc who are now suddenly trying to suggest that the Conservatives are playing games and that the Bloc does not want to be debating this forever, I would suggest that we are open to negotiations around how to put an end to this. If the member would like to talk to his whip and have his whip talk to our whip, we certainly would be open to that idea. It is a bit rich for the Bloc members to somehow suggest it is completely the Conservatives' fault that we are in week four or five of this now, when they have just as much responsibility in this.
I am going to go back to the first question I had for the member, which she did not answer. She said, in answer to my question, that nobody on her side seems to be against the motion. With respect, that is not what I asked. I realize everybody is in favour of it.
My question, and I will put it very clearly, was this: Why put forward a subamendment to invite more people to PROC when the Conservatives know full well they are not interested in passing the motion to start with? Other Conservatives have said they would not vote in favour of it because there is only one thing they want, which is for us to comply with their demands.
The member has to answer my question. Why put forward this subamendment when the Conservatives are contradicting this by suggesting they have no interest in passing it in the first place?
