“Mr. Speaker, I appreciated to a certain degree the member’s comments when he made reference to the issue of the process. However, I would ask him to realize that, over the years, things have changed considerably. We saw time allocation used during Stephen Harper’s government a record number of times. If the opposition were to get its way regarding legislation, we would never, ever be able to pass important crime legislation and budgetary legislation without the use of time allocation. That is the simple reality of today. I am very much interested in the member’s thoughts about programming in general, whether it is private members’ legislation or government legislation.”
