Madam Speaker, in the member's speech, he repeatedly asserted that it was somehow because we had moved a concurrence motion, at the appropriate time, to give the House the opportunity to debate the business of a parliamentary committee and allow members to vote on it, that this was filibustering Bill C-4.
Is he aware that his own caucus colleagues spent last week filibustering Bill C-4 at the parliamentary committee, where they refused to even allow amendments to go to a vote? They did not co-operate with other parties, as this member has said they should. His own colleagues refused every amendment and filibustered an entire day to prevent even the first amendment from coming to a vote. They tried to get each amendment struck. The Speaker wisely ruled that the amendments that did pass were in order.
When it comes to machinations around the delay of Bill C-4, is the member aware that his own caucus colleagues have delayed the reporting of the bill to the House?
