I am not surprised at the urgency my hon. friends to the right seem to be showing because it is time they did.

My hon. friends to my right did not hesitate to take an hour and a half this afternoon to delay the business of the house by moving a purely political motion. I would also remind my friends to the right that a little over a month ago, on March 3 to be exact-
