Madam Speaker, my colleague and I are both vice-chairs of the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs. I thank him for his intervention.
I would like to know whether the amendment he just moved has anything to do with the fact that the Liberals tried to pull a fast one on us in committee. We wanted the official languages minister to appear and answer the committee's questions. At the time, the member for Edmonton Centre was that minister. However, the Liberals tried to send us the new Minister of Official Languages, the member for Moncton—Riverview—Dieppe. Is today's motion and the time being taken up in Parliament an indication of the same Liberal manoeuvring?
I have a second question. In his speech, my colleague talked about the penalties that should be imposed on the member for Edmonton Centre. I would like my colleague to elaborate on that. What consequences should the member face, apart from being humiliated in the House and bringing shame to his political party?
