Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the member for Cowichan—Malahat—Langford's raising the elephant in the room.
The elephant in the room is this: Why has the NDP voted 24 times to increase the carbon tax? Why did the NDP, for two and a half years, support every budget of the current government, which put up the cost of everything in this country? Why did the NDP do a fake rip-up of its coalition agreement and then still vote every single time to support the government? Why has the NDP decided, according to its leader this week, that it is in no hurry to go to an election? Might it be that his pension vests in February?
