Madam Speaker, there are many aspects of the member's comments that I would challenge him on. The issue for me is the ongoing belief that the Conservatives do not want things to pass in the House. They have convinced themselves that it is the government that does not want things passed, whether it is the budget implementation bill we are talking about today, on which the Conservatives continue to talk and talk as opposed to allowing it to go to a committee, or whether it is the bail reform legislation.
There is one reason the bail reform legislation is not going to become law: the Conservative Party of Canada. That is the reason Canadians are being denied bail reform laws, yet the Conservatives are acting as though they were in some wonderland, believing they have nothing to do with it. They need to give their heads a collective shake, wake up and start putting the interests of Canadians ahead of their own party.
Would the member not agree that it is about time?
