Replying to Steeve Lavoie (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his excellent speech. We spent many hours together at the Standing Committee on Finance. I would like to hear his opinion, because things move very quickly here and sometimes we do not have time to discuss things. I would like to know how he felt during all those hours when we were unable to move the bill forward, when we could not make any progress because of the opposition’s filibusters. We know what families and seniors are going through right now, and that is why we want to move forward. That is why people elected us. What was my colleague feeling during all that time?”

Mr. Speaker, Claims · 93 wordsto be honest, I felt sort of embarrassed for the Conservatives because they were on camera in public meetings, embarrassing themselves as they were filibustering a bill and wasting parliamentary resources. They then stood up in this House and claimed they needed more time for debate as those bills had not been studied.¹ Again, the programming motion was from the Conservatives.² We agreed to the time frame and the process of how we were going to study Bill C-30, ³and then they wasted 25 hours of time to block Bill C-30 in times—⁴
