Mr. Speaker, Claims · 44 words I hope the member across the way understands that there are individuals who are following the debates as we sit later in the evenings to see what we are doing, whether it is the government or the official opposition, to justify our late sittings, Positioning · 14 words and they see why and how time is wasted, for example with Bill C-25, Positioning Off point Procedure · 12 words as I started talking about. It is not just on Bill C-25. Procedure Claims · 73 words We also saw it yesterday on Bill C-20, dealing with building homes from coast to coast to coast.1 Today, we had a very important crime bill that was being debated, Bill C-16, the protecting victims act, 2 and the Conservative deputy whip stood in this place and moved adjournment, thereby stopping debate once again.3 They say they want to have more debate time on legislation and complain that they are not getting enough time, Positioning · 8 words but instead of debating, what are they doing? Positioning Claims · 6 words They want to adjourn the House. Positioning · 14 words In other words, they are saying that they want to stop and go home. Positioning Claims · 132 words No surprise, that motion by the opposition deputy whip was defeated.4 Then we had a little more debate. After that debate, the Conservative deputy House leader stood in this place and once again attempted to stop the proceedings of the House.5 Instead of debating the crime legislation the government is proposing, they wanted to stop the proceedings of the House and go home, for the second time today, once again preventing valuable time on the floor of the House of Commons, because only five hours are left for debate.6 Instead of debating the bill, they said, “No, we do not want to debate.” They used that particular tactic not once but twice today.7 They failed once again, as we saw the Bloc, the New Democrats, the Greens and the government say no.8 Off point Procedure · 6 words We then went into report stage—9 Procedure
