Mr. Speaker, the substance of the issue is at the very heart of what we have spent two months doing here. We are talking about accountability. There was not accountability within the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in respecting the will of the chamber and transferring the funds from the Treasury to the international commission that was created by treaty. Canada was not living up to its obligations there, and our bureaucracy was not living up to obligations.
We are talking about the government not standing up to the orders of the chamber. It is the very same issue. The answer is no. We are preventing a great deal of problematic legislation from coming forward and we are absolutely willing to debate the issues of the day when the government respects the orders of the chamber.
