Madam Speaker, I just have one question. We have been back for a week and it has now been three weeks since the government reverted to being a minority government, which is what the people voted for in 2021. It is a minority government again, and Parliament has been back for barely a week.
Why the rush to trigger an election? Is this not the perfect opportunity to negotiate and make progress?
We know that the government members are isolated and tormented. No doubt even their pets are not speaking to them. That is why this would be the perfect time, even for the Conservatives, to get down to serious parliamentary work and set aside scorched-earth politics in favour of making progress. This is what our party is counting on.
