Mr. Speaker, my question is for the gentleman who seems upset. The Liberals chose to fly solo. The people elected a minority government. The government tabled a budget without seeking the support of another party to get a majority of votes in the House. The same thing goes for Bill C-15. The other opposition parties chose to let the budget move on to the next step so as not to trigger an election, even though it was not to their liking.
Now, the member wants to change the rules of the House. Why? It is so that a minority government can govern like a majority would. I do not think that will happen. I would like to humbly remind him of the way things work. People vote to elect members of Parliament. The government needs to listen to members and get a majority of votes in the House. That is where the problem lies.
If the Liberal members chose to fly solo, to work alone, then they should not be surprised when they have a hard time getting things done. What does the parliamentary secretary think about that?
