Mr. Speaker, I appreciate that my colleague likes our collaboration and the fact that he recognizes that there is collaboration.
I am tempted to say that we probably would have come to an agreement. The government certainly has a majority. However, I cannot promise him on my own that this is the collective decision that would have been made. I will not do that. It would have been much closer to the percentage of elected members in the House.
What we are criticizing is the way things were done, the number that the Liberals decided on and the fact that they did not even call us. We had just come from a meeting. It is the height of contempt.
