Mr. Speaker, if the member opposite wants to take any lessons on the economy, he should take them from his leader.
Just the other day his leader called the Bloc Québécois' proposal to institute a 45-day work year and the accompanying 35% payroll tax increase fiscally irresponsible. One would think his caucus would follow its leader. However, later that day, the Liberals all trotted in here and voted for that Bloc Québécois proposal and the accompanying 35% payroll tax increase.
When the Liberal leader calls a bill fiscally irresponsible, his MPs should vote against it.
