Mr. Speaker, the self-serving multi-million dollar political game continues.
My question to the member is related to the member's statement about individuals within the Conservative caucus having the power in a democratic system to say something. Here is a news headline: “[The leader of the Conservative Party]'s office maintains tight control over what Conservative MPs say and do.” Conservative MPs are saying this, off the record of course. Referring to the Leader of the Conservative Party, they say, “He's the one who decides everything. His main adviser is himself...The people around him are only there to realize the leader's vision.”
Today, we introduced legislation that would give a GST tax holiday to Canadians. The member does not have to speak on behalf of the leader of the Conservative Party because we already know the leader is voting against Bill C-78. My question is, will the member make a commitment to give a tax break to his constituents and vote yes on Bill C-78?
