Mr. Speaker, Claims · 86 words once again, the Conservatives would rather obstruct the health committee and block our motion to study the public health emergency in the member’s home province of Manitoba than help Canadians.1 The member opposite claims we are blocking the work of committee. This is quite rich, considering that a Conservative committee member was filibustering by making a speech about the Magna Carta and described the public health emergency in Manitoba as a facade.2 Canadians elected our new government to focus on resolving the challenges our country faces. Positioning · 16 words I invite the members opposite to put down their phone, join us and get to work. Positioning Partly on point
