Mr. Speaker, I do not have confidence in this government. I doubt it will last past the spring. That said, the government House leader is almost as bad as the Prime Minister. No one buys that argument.
The government is trying to either force an election or get us to overlook its ethical problems. If it does not want to trigger an election, the government House leader needs to stand up and say that we are right, that this should not be a confidence vote and that they will do what they were elected to do. He should tell us to have a good day, life goes on, and he will see us in the spring.
