Mr. Speaker, I have to admit that when I looked at this opposition motion, I could not help but think, “Holy, the Conservatives are so lazy.” What they have done is literally take the entire platform they ran on nine months ago and put it into an opposition motion, but here is a news flash: Canadians voted against that platform. They did not give the Conservatives the ability to form a government.
I wonder if the secretary of state would provide his comments on how he thinks the Conservatives approached this motion today, and how it seems to lack any sense of their responsibility to be a proper opposition in the House.
