Madam Speaker, I am actually thunderstruck. I am at a loss for words. The member said that we need more information, but what is he doing? He is supporting a closure motion to prevent debate on this issue. This is pitiful.
Then he does the classic, “You little people do not know”. He said that maybe people get confused and upset and if only they went to the Liberal Party website, they would learn better things.
Paul Bailey, president of the Police Pensioners Association spoke very clearly and coherently about this. He asked why seniors were being targeted. Gerald Gibson, who represents 4,000 condominium owners, spoke of the effect it will have on seniors. We hear from the president of the Ontario Real Estate Association that this will price first-time home buyers out of the market.
Yet my Liberal colleague seems to think that if only these people went to the Liberal website, they would not be so confused, that it is very easy to get all hot and bothered about a bill on taxation.
I would ask the hon. member, why is he being so gutless and why is he allowing this closure motion to go through without information?
