Madam Speaker, it is always a pleasure to rise on behalf of the people of Kamloops—Thompson—Nicola.
I wish at this time to wish all the best in the upcoming nuptials of Justin Potestio and Dr. Namat Majaess. They are getting married and I wish them all the best.
I say with sincerity to my hon. colleague that we hear him talk so much. This is on a contentious bill; at what point are the other Liberals going to get the opportunity to ask questions? At what point are the other Liberals going to get the opportunity to give speeches? We hear about how much the government values diversity, and yet it has one person stand up every single day to ask more questions and give more speeches than the whole Liberal caucus. Is the member okay with that?
I cannot figure out why Liberal backbenchers are okay with that. Did they come here to sit on their hands and listen to him speak, or did they come here to make a difference for Canadians?
