Mr. Speaker, I am increasingly concerned about the parliamentary secretary's growing anger. I have had the honour of serving with him for just over a decade. Instead of talking about the motion, he is saying that the government is unable to move its legislative agenda forward as it would like. He is talking as though the government has a majority, when, as we know, this is a minority government.
The government is so close to having a majority, that before some Liberal members resigned, it was one vote away from a majority. This means that the Liberals could come to an agreement with the Conservative Party, the Bloc Québécois, the NDP or even the Green Party member to move their work forward. There are measures that can be used to block stalling tactics if one has a majority of votes in the House.
Why is the government behaving as though it has a majority when it has a minority government and up to four opportunities to come to an agreement with parties and move its work forward?
