Madam Speaker, those are valid questions to be considered, as are all the issues the members of the different parties have brought up. The purpose of this debate is to raise these issues and to have them examined thoroughly by PROC, so it can come back with a system that is fair and just. I urge the government members to consider the points I have raised, particularly around triggering a vote, but all the other points as well.
The way that the Senate is filibustering or stalling on private members' bills is just wrong. It has happened to the Conservatives, the NDP and the Bloc. It is supposed to provide a sober second thought, but deliberately stalling to obstruct is not sober second thought.
