—and promise that they're going to have real change, get as many votes as they can for that particular issue, do their polling, and know it's a winner. Then when they get in power, they find some reason why they're not going to do it.
I know a little bit about full disclosure and not keeping a major promise. The government that I found myself in in 1990—I don't know why I'm doing this to myself, but I try to be as fair-minded as I can, even when it costs me. We didn't do public auto insurance. We had run for quite some time on public auto insurance. I won't get into the dynamics because the chair won't let me, and he'll know that I'm just eating up time, so I won't even try. However, I think it's fair to say that I have some experience with what happens to a majority government that takes one of its major planks and turns its back on it for whatever reason and however valid. Politics is not always fair. This government failed to learn the lesson of previous governments that ran on a platform of major change. This government is about to find out what happens when you promise people that you're.... Remember, it was “real change”. It wasn't just “change”, because that's what the NDP was saying: “We'll give you change.” With the Liberals, it was going to be “real change”. It's not really. It's pretty much what we've seen from Liberals in the past. How many times have they promised a national child care system? The only time we ever got close was in the dying days of a minority Liberal government as a last-gasp, desperate effort to stay in power. They cobbled something together. There were at least three, possibly four, platforms, starting with the infamous Red Book that promised a universal child care system. They didn't deliver it the first time, promised it again, didn't deliver it that time, promised it again, didn't deliver it that time, and promised it again. They finally formed a national majority government, and they still didn't bring it in. They did some stuff, and it's an improvement. There was a low bar considering where the Harper government had support for child care.
