Madam Speaker, time and time again we have heard the member for Winnipeg North referring in the House to committees. In previous sessions he has gotten up and asked us to bring any recommendations we have to committee for the committee to discuss. When we do that, even though they pass through committee, they come into the House and the Liberal Party, along with its friends in the NDP, votes down our recommendations and our amendments.
Today the member for Winnipeg North is standing in his place and saying we should pass the budget implementation bill, which is not an implementation bill, and pass it on to committee, yet the Liberals have shut down committees; they cannot meet. No committees are meeting this week, because the Liberals have shut them all down.
Quite simply, what does the hon. member think the Liberals are hiding? Why are they not being transparent and honest with Canadians when they stand in their place to speak in the House?
