Madam Speaker, I am not suggesting I am the government's victim. Who are the real victims in all of this? The victims are Canadians. They are the ones not having their representatives doing work for them for 29 sitting days while the Conservatives have jammed up the House until we “call a carbon tax election”, like we hear them say over and over. At some point, I think everybody has to realize it is time to move on.
If the member is genuine when he says he wants to talk about seniors, that is great. If we get out of this privilege debate, perhaps the Bloc can bring forward a motion specifically about seniors and we can have a discussion. I would love to talk about seniors and OAS and what the government and the Bloc are proposing and why I might not like their members' ideas and why they might not like our ideas. In the meantime, we are listening to AI-generated speeches from the Conservatives.
