Madam Speaker, the member's intervention today was extremely revealing. It revealed a lot about the Conservatives, especially in the way they acted in the House during the speech. We can look at what they were doing when he was talking versus the way they acted when it came to actually voting on the words they had just used moments before.
What underpins all of this, and the member brought it up in his speech, is how, exactly, the Conservatives approach their role in the House. They believe their role here is to obstruct at every possible opportunity. In reality, in a Westminster parliamentary system, the role of the opposition is to challenge the government to do better and be better, not to systematically, at every single opportunity, try to dismantle every piece of legislation and policy the government puts forward because the opposition could never imagine allowing it to have a win on something.
Could the member please expand on the thoughts he brought up earlier about the genuine role of the opposition and how the Reform Party across the way has completely lost its way?
