Mr. Speaker, what has not changed is the Conservative Party of Canada's attitude toward what the member just finished saying. They have consistently made character assassinations of government members, and they have called for an election for over two years now. It is a joke for the member to try to give the impression that the time is now when he has been saying the time is now for the last two years.
We are not moving forward on a number of initiatives because the Conservative Party, in its self-interest, continues to filibuster on a motion, a motion about which I do not think the member knows what is supposed to be being debated right now. The motion, which we have been debating over the last six weeks, is to defer the issue to the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs. That is what the debate is about.
Could the member provide his thoughts on why the Conservatives are continuing to play this multi-million dollar game?
