Madam Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for her incredible work and her leadership.
Last week, the House voted to give Canadians a real break by eliminating GST on essential goods. This means that ready-to-eat meals, children's clothing, toys, books and Christmas trees will not be taxed this holiday season. Canadians across this country will benefit from real relief at the checkout. Unfortunately, the Leader of the Opposition decided to do what he normally does. He put partisan interests ahead of helping Canadians and voted against removing a tax.
Can the Leader of the Opposition explain to Canadians why he decided to act like a Grinch this Christmas?
