Mr. Speaker, back home we have an expression, “to have someone by the balls”, which refers to something real. The reality in Parliament right now is that there is an opposition leader who essentially has this government's back against the wall, to avoid using that same expression again. Why is he doing that?
Honestly, we do not know since he keeps talking out of both sides of his mouth. On one hand, he says that his party wants to help Canadians because Canadians are struggling. That is essentially what we are saying too. On the other hand, he keeps supporting the government, even after tearing up the agreement they had.
We know that in four months, the leader of the NDP will be entitled to his pension. Is that the real reason? If that is not the reason, then why not trigger an election right now?
