Madam Speaker, we are getting a sense of where the opposition is coming from on this issue. Whether members are New Democrats or Conservatives, it really does not matter because they have come together. I give my friends in the NDP a heads-up on this. The Conservative Party really does not want tax reform, so New Democrats are falling into the Conservative trap of delay, delay.
My colleague from across the way made reference to the fact that he hopes we have allocated time because this is going to be something that is thoroughly debated. I would suggest that I am giving my colleague this advice because I do not want him to continue to fall into the Conservative trap. The Conservatives do not support tax reform that is going to benefit Canada's middle class. That is really the issue that we have here.
My advice to my New Democratic friends is that, if they support Canada's middle class, they should be voting for things like the tax break for the middle class and the benefits that have been given to seniors and young people. I used to live in Transcona, and I know that if the member consults with his constituents, he will find that a vast majority of them are in favour of tax fairness.
Would the member not acknowledge that the Conservative trap is set for NDP members and others to fall into? I would suggest that he might want to stay away from it.
