Mr. Speaker, all I know is that when I was a cabinet minister, if former prime minister Stephen Harper found out that we were not shepherding our legislation through the House, there would be major heck to pay. This is because the principle of parliamentary supremacy is this: We are here to debate legislation and hold the government to account, and when government members are presenting legislation, they have an onus. The ministers, the executive branch of government, have an onus to convince all of us that it is in the best interest of the country. What we are witnessing here is the executive branch of government willingly thumbing its nose at the parliamentary branch, not just by its lack of willingness to stand and debate its own legislation and offload it to whatever, but also through its lack of willingness to challenge judicial overreach. Yesterday in committee, my colleague and I watched the Liberals try to put a court order or a court review on a parliamentary motion. What kind of bunk is that? This is our House.
