Madam Speaker, I have not heard from the Conservative benches about this, and I am hoping the member for Elgin—St. Thomas—London South can let me know if there is a view on the part of the Conservative Party to shifting the budget to always being in the fall. I ask this because I am concerned that we will now have a perpetual panic that we cannot have a Christmas election. We are in a minority Parliament and the cry “we cannot have a Christmas election” only works if a budget is always in the fall.
Does the member have any thoughts on that aspect of the Liberal government's handling of the budget?
