Madam Speaker, the member for New Westminster—Burnaby gives a very interesting revisionist history. The NDP has been the party that has kept the Liberals in power; the Liberals are here because of the ongoing support of the NDP. Going into the by-elections this fall, the leader of the NDP said that he had torn up the agreement, which was so they could win their seat back in Elmwood—Transcona. There was a very thin margin in that by-election, and they were losing up until that point. When I was knocking on doors in Elmwood—Transcona, every constituent was sick and tired of the NDP's supporting the Prime Minister and the Liberals.
The NDP's coalition with the Liberals has allowed us to get to this point. It was the NDP that helped shut down the debate and turn over the documents we needed in the past, and they are now allowing the debate to go on. However, if they at all support a closure motion brought forward by the Liberal government, it again will prove that the NDP “have their six”, have the Liberals' back, and that the coalition is alive and well.
