Madam Speaker, to me, there is nothing more harmful than an elected official trying to make the public lose confidence in institutions. For a while now, the opposition leader has been trying to stoke public discontent. When members say that the carbon tax is causing teachers to quit their jobs because there is no heat in the schools, that nurses are quitting their jobs because there is no heat in the hospitals or that people are requesting medical assistance in dying because they have nothing to eat, in my view, that is not serious. In my view, what they are trying to do is stoke public discontent.
That is why my Conservative colleagues are not being taken seriously. They will be taken seriously when they can introduce us to this famous electrician who captures lightning to power the lights in this room.
