Mr. Speaker, we are really in a unique position today. As parliamentarians, we have a front row seat to what many Canadians are seeing today as a government that is spiralling out of control, that is literally collapsing before us at a very important time in our nation's history. The NDP has an opportunity here to make the right decision for once, and not support the government, not show any confidence in the government.
Later today, the fall economic statement is going to be presented, we think. We are not so sure anymore, but if it is, I am sure there are mechanisms in which the leadership side of the government, the House leader or others, could put it to a vote quickly. We could have a vote tonight or tomorrow. As we know, there are 70% of Canadians or more who do not have confidence in the government. However, I think it would show that this House has no confidence in the government, save the NDP.
Would the hon. member agree with me that we could, if we wanted to, put the fall economic statement to a vote immediately, to show whether this House has confidence in the government? I suspect that not to be the case, which would then force an election where we can return to some normalcy, some decency and some morality in this country led by a common-sense Conservative government.
