Rejected petition Reform parliamentary process to prevent blocking with objections & filibustering

The current process allows a single MP to block a bill through the use of an objection or filibustering. This does not support a democratic parliamentary process, which is meant to represent the views of the people. It is essential that parliamentary process is changed in order to prevent this.
