Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate my colleague on his fourth election to the House of Commons.
My colleague has explained the fundamental problem he sees looming and explained it very well, even more so because all of the explanations were given during the election campaign. This is not something we learned after the fact. Remember that in 2015, the Liberal Party was elected on a platform of three small deficits and no deficit in 2019. The Liberals completely lied to the public, because that is not how things turned out.
However, in this case, they were very clear. They said it clearly; they announced it from coast to coast to coast. The Bloc leader raised the issue during the debate, and the Liberal leader had a hard time explaining himself. He tripped over his words.
Regardless, more people voted for us than in previous elections. Unfortunately for the Bloc Québécois, voters ditched them and they lost about 10 ridings. The Liberal Party got 44 members elected—
