Mr. Speaker, I welcome the new member for Elmwood—Transcona to Parliament.
The member's riding is right next to my riding in Winnipeg. I have heard from many of his constituents, business people in particular, who are very much against the separatist coalition, the surprise coalition, that has taken place.
I saw the member campaigning as I was campaigning in the last election. People went out and did a lot of work. That election was very costly.
A short six weeks ago people brought that member to Parliament. They are surprised that suddenly the new member is now part of a separatist coalition and is endorsing it. People are baffled.
We heard from another member on this side of the House who talked about the tax stimulus in Canada.
How does the member for Elmwood—Transcona square that with the fact that businesses are very concerned that this coalition would not support the kind of corporate tax breaks, the kind of stimulus, that is already there? How does the member square that with his constituents?
