Mr. Speaker, we have uncovered the top 10 reasons why the Liberals have delayed calling the byelection in Port Moody—Coquitlam.
Reason No. 10, they cannot find Port Moody—Coquitlam on the map.
Reason No. 9, they cannot even find British Columbia on the map.
Reason No. 8, they think that the tri-cities are a place where Liberals put in a token effort but they just cannot win.
Reason No. 7, the Liberal Party is $3 million in the hole and even to a Liberal a million here, a million there and pretty soon you're talking real change.
Reason No. 6, it is difficult to schedule a byelection that does not interfere with the Prime Minister's golf game.
Reason No. 5, the Liberals pinned their hopes on Anna Terrana and then mistakenly appointed her to the immigration board.
Reason No. 4, anything the fisheries minister is involved with.
Reason No. 3, current Liberal MPs realize that a byelection means they need to talk about B.C. issues.
Reason No. 2, the Liberals are unsure about how to campaign in British Columbia because they cannot be bought with their own money.
And the No. 1 reason the Liberals have delayed calling the Port Moody—Coquitlam byelection: the Liberals have not yet figured out how to tax byelections.
