Mr. Speaker, when the government tried to influence the vote of the member for Newton—North Delta, the Minister of Health said:
In fact, cabinet can be arranged right away. For the other, you don’t want to lose the advantage.
How can the Prime Minister continue to deny everything, when not only did his chief of staff make promises, but his Minister of Health, on the eve of a confidence vote, said such a thing to a Conservative member in an attempt to persuade him to vote with the government? Is that not precisely what we call influencing the vote of an MP in exchange for consideration?
