FULL: Pierre Poilievre breaks Parliamentary Record as he speaks for hours in House to block budget

On June 7, 2023, Pierre Poilievre took the parliamentary floor and embarked on a marathon speech, vowing to impede what he deemed an "inflationary train wreck." Starting his address at around 8 p.m., Poilievre set out to run the clock until midnight, making it the longest speech of its kind in recorded parliamentary history, which stretches back to 1911.

In his filibuster, Poilievre expressed his intent to advocate for the voiceless and those burdened by the rising cost of living. He emphasized the struggles faced by individuals who diligently work to pay their bills but find themselves financially strained. He likened the current state of affairs to a period of darkness, where everything seems broken and the government's financial situation appears dire.

Despite Poilievre's efforts, the Liberals, supported by the NDP, managed to overcome the delay tactics by implementing a time allocation motion. This motion restricted the debate on the budget bill until the end of the day on Wednesday. Additionally, the Conservatives' 900 amendments to the bill were consolidated into nine votes to expedite the legislative process.

According to procedural rules, both the Prime Minister and the leader of the opposition have unlimited speaking time during the budget debate. Poilievre made it clear that he would continue his speech for as long as he desired until the time allocation motion for Budget Implementation Act Bill C-47 expired at midnight.

The budget bill is expected to undergo the third reading and receive NDP support on Thursday before being sent to the Senate.

Earlier in the week, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland criticized the Conservatives' attempts to obstruct C-47, referring to them as "incredibly irresponsible" and "frankly, incredibly juvenile."

A remarkable and truly great speech.
Pierre Pollivere in this speech spoke to the hearts and minds of all Canadians, and in doing so demonstrated him being in possession of a very keen intellect, as well as a broad and thorough comprehension of history, and in depth knowledge of the mores, norms and values developed over successive human generations of Canadian people.
He said more lucid and practical real things in this 3 hour speech than Justin Trudeau has in the entirety of his time in Parliament since he first entered it in 2015.
As well, he spoke directly and in detail to the problems in our society today that are directly attributable to what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Cabinet and Government have done to Canada, and the people of Canada.
Their repeated and ongoing failures have opened the door for them to be replaced.
This will occur in my opinion.
Mr.. Pollivere has in this one speech demonstrated he has the intelligence and ideas that need to be implemented in order to take Canada back to the great Country it was, in order that this greatness can continue on in the future and get better.
The speech was sheer genius, made by a man who is in a position of privilege, but knows and is personally comfortable with the real truth he is no better than any other human being, but more gifted and fortunate than most others.
All was said and done by a man with a smile on his face.
His smile reveals his personal good nature.
His speech demonstrates his intelligence, ideas and determination to do what needs to be done to restore Canada to its rightful position.
What was particularly notable was he stood in his place, made his speech without the assistance of speechwriters or teleprompters, spoke from his heart and head with words which were directed at every Canadian.
Mr.Trudeau struggles to give a clear and concise response to any question he receives in Question Period.
This speech tonight puts Trudeau clearly on notice he is outmatched by a better person who will form the next Majority Government in Canada.
Well done Pierre
Thank you

Not only was this an inspirational speech by a true canadain leader, but this is what all leaders should be doing instead of greasing their buddy's wallets.

I always think it is amazing that when there is voting going on for anything, the house is nearly completely empty. You want to vote on anything you must show up to school.

[jacktherabbit]

these members are so childish, my high school class had a longer attention span. unreal
