Madam Speaker, I enjoyed the part of my colleague's speech when he talked about the member for Battle River—Crowfoot. He spoke in particular about this member's empathy, which I find rather surprising, since that is not necessarily the first thing that we notice about him in the House.
At the same time, my colleague made me realize that the confidence vote in the Conservative leader is a bit of an elephant in the room when it comes to Bill C-15. What impact will that have on his party's work when it comes to the passage of Bill C-15? The bill still has to go through a few stages, including a study in committee and then the study in the House.
Will the Conservatives propose amendments in committee? What impact will the confidence vote have on the Conservatives' position on Bill C-15? Are they prepared to trigger an election for something as important as the implementation of this budget?
