Madam Speaker, I am happy that I have a chance to stand up today, because I do have some questions that I am hoping the member can shed some light on.
We know that the Conservatives have been calling for an election for about six months now. On Friday, there was a non-confidence vote that was put forward by the Conservatives, which was attacking the leader of the NDP. When the Conservatives were asked to suspend the question of privilege by the government House leader to get unanimous consent to be able to debate this exact non-confidence motion that they put forward, they said no.
Perhaps the member could clarify, as I think Canadians are curious. What is going on? Where is the logic behind saying “no” to the exact motion that the Conservatives put forward to see an outcome that they are pushing for?
