Mr. Speaker, can we put this posturing aside and get serious?
I am asking the Prime Minister to commit to not calling an election during the pandemic because he often ignores the votes in the House. We voted to increase employment insurance benefits to 50 weeks for people who are seriously ill, but the Prime Minister ignored that vote and went with just 26 weeks. We voted to increase health transfers, but the Prime Minister ignored that vote and budgeted no increase over five years.
If the House asks him not to call an election until the pandemic is over, will he commit to respect that vote or will he ignore it yet again?
