Mr. Speaker, it is interesting because the member does speak to the government's intentions of advancing legislation. I know constituents within the riding of Waterloo sent me to this place to have tough conversations to actually get work done on their behalf. They cannot be here, so I try to have conversations with a diversity of perspectives. When it comes to legislation on forced labour, they know the government has intentions to advance it, yet they recognize the Conservatives have paralyzed the House. They brought it to a standstill. They refuse to have work done.
Today, we started the House on points of order and just comments in regards to witnesses at committee and not having the best interest of Canadians at hand. What is clear is that the Conservatives have gone to former prime minister Stephen Harper's way and they will fight for Conservatives, but they will not fight for Canadians. That is one of the reasons I put my name on a ballot. I think the member has articulated very clearly that the Bloc and the NDP suggest they want to get work done, but they do not want to get work done because they know how we can get back onto a legislative agenda. They know they have a role to play, but they refuse to play that role.
I would like to ask the member, when it comes to the intentions in the House, when it comes to actually getting work done, how we can get this work done. Today is moved by the Bloc Québécois, which just wants to separate our country. The NDP is more concerned about my attire than it is about policy. What can we do in the House to actually get to the legislative agenda so we can deliver for Canadians, middle-class Canadians and those working hard to join them? Today, this concurrence motion, I agree, is very important. I think the issue is very important, but the government has signalled time and time again that it wants to advance legislation.
Why is the government not able to advance legislation?
