Mr. Speaker, today, the member for Courtenay—Alberni is denouncing cuts to the public service, profits made by big grocery chains, oil subsidies, and inaction on the housing crisis and on homelessness. Where was he on November 17 during the deciding vote on the budget? He abstained.
Today he is denouncing a budget that does nothing to resolve the problems he is talking about. I am trying to understand. Usually in politics, when a person says one thing and does another, we call that inconsistency. This is what makes people more cynical about politicians and democratic institutions.
I would like my colleague to explain how he can denounce something today that he let pass on November 17.
