Mr. Speaker, there was no secret discussion. No information was shared. That is absolutely not the case. A very important budget for our country will be presented in a few moments. The member will have to wait for the budget. All the details will be there. Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

  • Re: Bill C-14 
Madam Speaker, one of the single largest increases in the number of members of the House of Commons was under Stephen Harper. It went from 308 to 338. If we follow the logic of what the member is saying, we would think that it was the previous administration that deferred the decision on something that the member is being somewhat critical of us for not debating today. Does the member feel this might be a type of ongoing discussion, possibly in the format of an opposition day, in which we could continue to have this debate? I realize there is a need to ultimately see this bill pass so that the Quebec commission is able to continue to do its fine work.
