“The Conservatives delayed our work. They only brought forward changes in English, so we had to wait for translations. They also refused to let us keep working on other things while waiting.”
“Mr. Speaker, my colleague is correct. They were subamendments. Every time the Conservative Party proposed a subamendment, the subamendment was always worded in English only, so we had to wait for it to be translated. That was one of the factors that caused the delay in our proceedings. Whenever we asked if we could set that aside and keep working while the translation was being done, we were denied.”
