Mr. Speaker, I want to repeat my question because it is important.
According to the Liberals, the fact that this was part of their election platform is enough to keep Parliament from doing its job. That alone is enough to short-circuit democracy.
I trust my colleague and his ability to answer the question accurately. What other items on the Liberal election platform does he believe are so urgent and so important that it is worth short-circuiting Parliament and preventing us from doing our democratic work here in the House? What else is on the list? What items on the Liberal platform are more important than democracy and the fact that opposition members were also elected in the last federal election?
