Madam Speaker, if the NDP members are uncomfortable with my words, perhaps they will listen to the Halifax International Longshoremen's Association's words. It said, “On Monday the NDP has the opportunity to reinforce that they will not bring in back to work legislation by supporting their own leader's words.”
This is why we are having this debate trying to prevent the Conservatives' confidence motion. This is why NDP members continue to interrupt me. They are increasingly uncomfortable with the fact that they will have to vote on a confidence motion on their leader's words and how the Liberal government took away the rights of workers to strike. They are trying to avoid this by putting forward a procedural motion that normally is not brought on an opposition day.
The NDP has done this for the purpose of avoiding a confidence vote. As such, to prevent further meltdowns, I move:
That the House do now proceed to orders of the day.
