Mr. Speaker, I struggle to understand how my colleague across the floor sets his priorities. Personally, I go to my riding and ask people what they want us to do.
They tell me they want us to strengthen security. We are doing that with Bill C-12 and various changes to the Criminal Code. They tell me they want us to make life more affordable. We have Bill C-4, which is currently being studied and which we would like to see passed shortly. People also talk to me about the much-needed investments in infrastructure. That is in the budget implementation bill. What people are not asking me to do, however, is to engage in filibustering, block the work of the House and prevent us from debating bills that address the priorities of Canadians.
I would like to ask my colleague how he sets his priorities. Does he think it is justifiable to use the House's valuable time to obstruct proceedings rather than debate bills?
