Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives have made a decision, and that decision is to filibuster whenever they can, in order to not allow legislation to proceed, whether it is the budget implementation bill or the bail reform legislation. I find it unfortunate.
If the issue for the Conservatives is nothing but being able to have more debate time, then let me make a suggestion. I have no problem whatsoever working until midnight for the constituents of Winnipeg North. Liberal members of Parliament are prepared to work. This budget is a reflection of the interests of Canadians. It is part of building Canada strong and making Canada the strongest nation in the G7. We are prepared to work.
Would the member not agree with me and say that the Conservatives are prepared to work until midnight so we can facilitate more debate, whether it is on Bill C-15 or on bail reform legislation? Will he take me up on that?
