Mr. Speaker, I rarely have the opportunity to say so, but that is a really wonderful question. My colleague has raised a really good point, because this is indeed the second time that the results of a general election have been distorted. I think it is becoming a habit.
Those people make flowery speeches from balconies, with the sun shining and their hair blowing in the wind while they tell us that they are going to work with the opposition parties, that they are good people, blah, blah, blah. Then they return to the House and buy themselves a majority, either by securing the NDP's vote on an ongoing basis, like they did during the previous Parliament—completely destroying the constructive work we were doing in the process—or like now, by bringing in floor crossers. As I mentioned earlier, however, I am not sure that this majority is going to hold for three years.
The member for Laurier—Sainte‑Marie could grow tired of seeing environmental initiatives scrapped. The member for Nunavut might realize that the Prime Minister leans more to the right than she knew. Perhaps the member for Sarnia—Lambton—Bkejwanong will discover that the Liberal Party is more left-leaning than she thought. These people may have changed their allegiance, but the values that drew them to their original political party run deep. These values continue to exist somewhere deep inside them, and they could resurface.
