Madam Speaker, I just cannot believe this is happening again. The Liberal government ran on promises in elections that it was not going to shut down debate, yet it does it all the time. It is no wonder there are no Canadians who believe them any more. However, I am surprised that the NDP is supporting this unholy marriage, this costly coalition. They used to have principles on time allocation, and used to not allow it. It boggles the mind. How are the people of Sarnia—Lambton supposed to have their voices heard in this place when I have not even had a chance to speak to Bill C-32?

Madam Speaker, I will let that part of it speak for itself. That is the extent to which this costly coalition is imposing itself on Canadians. With respect to getting back to the bill itself, we heard an absurd speech from the government House leader last week on Motion No. 22, where he completely dismissed the idea that members should speak to legislation and justification of the draconian actions they take to limit debate in this House. We have a bill that would give Canadians more debt, more spending, more taxes, more inflation and higher interest rates, yet the minister would have us shut down debate before members have been able to weigh in and let their own constituents know, by using their voices in the House of Commons, to put their opinion on record on this bill. He should be ashamed of himself. I will let him weigh in on that and comment if he may.

Mr. Speaker, two weeks after the Global News allegations came to light, the Prime Minister finally denied having been personally briefed on the network of 11 candidates who were allegedly funded by the regime in Beijing. Yesterday, the Prime Minister told his government, and I quote, “I've asked them to give all information that they can share, that they can with a parliamentary committee looking into it.” Can the Prime Minister confirm that all documents will be shared with the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs and that he will not use his coalition majority to hide documents as the Liberals did in the case of the Winnipeg laboratory?
