Mr. Speaker, time allocation is absolutely necessary for the government to use because of the way the Conservative Party of Canada is treating legislation. If we did not have that tool, legislation would never pass. We can see the games the Conservatives play consistently, and this evening is a great example of that. They have been using adjournment motions even though they had agreed to sit late in the evening.
At the end of the day, it is a question of whether are we going to deliver for Canadians as an assembly. Our answer to that question is yes, and the only way we can do that is by bringing in time allocation, because the Conservatives fully intend to prevent the government from passing legislation. Any simple grade 12 class would be able to prevent things in the House.
It is an issue of serving Canadians first and foremost, and we will do what it takes in order to deliver on our commitments to Canadians.
