Mr. Speaker, this has been a chaotic day, but the reality is that this is an order of the House that cannot be countermanded by the government. Our expectation is that the finance minister will be in the House to present the fall economic statement. That is what New Democrats are prepared for. That is what we want to comment on and want to criticize. That is why we are here. This cannot be countermanded by the government itself. Parliament must be respected, and, Mr. Speaker, you must uphold the motion that was adopted unanimously by the House.
In the House of Commons on December 16th, 2024. See this statement in context.
