Madam Speaker, dancing and weaving are not physical activities that I would pretend to be very effective in doing. What I thought I did, which I judged by the smiles of a number of colleagues in the House, including across the aisle from where I stand now, was point out a certain irony. “Hypocrisy” may be an unparliamentary word, so I would not propose to use that word, but there is a certain irony in Conservatives finding anything other than joy in prorogation. I would have thought they were addicted to prorogation. They love prorogation. They now pretend to have manufactured outrage around prorogation with legislation in a previous Parliament. They prorogued Parliament not even to call an election but to avoid a non-confidence vote. I am having trouble understanding the sincerity of that question.
