“The opposition delayed our work on this bill in committee for hours, but families and seniors need help right now. I want to know how my colleague felt during those delays.”
“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?”
