Ryan Turnbull Liberal
“The Conservatives proposed the plan for studying this bill in committee. Everyone agreed on how many hours to spend and which witnesses would speak. We followed that exact plan.”
“Mr. Speaker, I definitely sympathize with the member’s predicament. The motion that was used to program our time at the finance committee came from the Conservatives. We agreed to a programming motion. An hon. member: Oh, oh! Ryan Turnbull: No, Mr. Speaker, what I am saying is the truth, which is that the motion that we agreed to to program our time at the finance committee to study Bill C-30 was proposed by the Conservatives. The committee came to consensus on how many hours it was going to spend on how much witness testimony, what ministers were going to come. That is exactly what we followed through with.”
