Mr. Speaker, I am looking forward to being able to address this particular concurrence motion. Having said that, I am very disappointed, as I have pointed out, that the Conservative Party has made the decision to spend literally millions of Canadian tax dollars all in the name of a filibuster to prevent Canadians from being able to receive legislation, whether government legislation or private members' legislation, and to see a full economic statement, among many other things. It is all because of a self-serving leader who sees his job as trying to demonstrate that the Parliament of Canada is dysfunctional. The only thing that is dysfunctional is the Conservative Party of Canada.
My question is: Why is the member agreeing to participate in the role that the leader of the Conservative Party has put upon himself and to continue the endless filibuster?
