They say “yes” and cheer.
Mr. Speaker, Conservatives are intentionally filibustering their own motion. I have the exact number, just because I think it is important for anybody watching this and trying to weigh how seriously Conservatives take this issue, including those who are heckling me now. I would like to bring to the House's attention and Canadians' attention the number of people who have spoken to this particular issue.
Two independents, one Green Party member, seven New Democrats, seven Bloc Québécois members and eight Liberals have spoken to this; I guess my speaking now makes it nine Liberals. How many members do we think spoke from the Conservative Party?
