Mr. Speaker, I believe the document the parliamentary secretary is referring to is House of Commons Procedure and Practice, the fourth edition of which was just published.
On a more serious note, I am no longer a permanent member of the Standing Committee on Finance, but I stood in for my colleague from Mirabel today. I witnessed over two hours of filibustering, including an hour and a half from the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance and National Revenue.
This is because the Liberal members, who are in the minority, are insisting on a pre-study of the budget implementation bill. Before it is passed in the House at second reading, they are refusing to allow the committee to conduct any other study in the meantime, such as a study on the Canada Revenue Agency and all the issues it is plagued with. In my opinion, that is problematic.
I would like to know what my hon. colleague, with whom I had the pleasure of serving on the Standing Committee on Finance in the past, thinks about this.
