Mr. Speaker, the problem is that the Conservatives did this in the first place. They imposed the GST on new homes. Now Conservatives are saying they made a mistake. The NDP certainly agrees. The Conservatives have made a hell of a lot of mistakes; this is only one of so many they have made.
The fact that a number of amendments have been moved in good faith by a number of parties, including the Bloc and the NDP, and not a single Conservative proposer or House leader, deputy House leader, whip or deputy whip has been in the House shows how seriously Conservatives take the motion before us today.
