Mr. Speaker, yes, it is always ironic to see members of the official opposition supporting closure motions. It is as though the Conservative Party had cast itself as a government-in-waiting and decided that it was great because, when they are in power, they will be able to take advantage of these botched processes.
I would still like to mention something about Bill C‑5 and the Conservatives. When I presented them with an amendment to exclude the Indian Act from the process, because it would have excluded indigenous people from consultations, the Conservatives voted in favour of our amendment. That meant we could not steamroll indigenous peoples, and I am grateful to them for that. That is why the federal government is coming back with the Bill C‑15. To me, this is a historical aberration.
