Mr. Speaker, I wish you had afforded the same courtesy to the Minister of Finance, who also wanted to answer a question. I think it would be appropriate to make sure that we apply the same standard moving forward.
However, what I would like to say to the Leader of the Opposition is that we gave him an opportunity to debate that, and instead of taking it, the Conservatives ran away afraid. I am surprised that the member is even bringing this up, because when we gave them an opportunity to hold that vote, they said “no”. That is just another pattern of their behaviour, where they say one thing and do another.
