Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his very informative speech. What he forgot to mention is that, when it came time to vote on the budget, the Conservatives wanted to avoid an election so badly that they hid some members, including their House leader, behind the curtains.
On voting day, they were hiding behind the curtains and in the washrooms to abstain from voting and ensure that the budget passed. It was when they realized that the NDP and the Green Party had caved that they came out to vote. All 22 of the Bloc Québécois members voted against it.
I want my colleague to answer the following question. If the budget is so horrible, what was his House leader doing hiding in the washrooms on voting day?
