Mr. Speaker, I am pleased that you are giving me the floor right now because we have a lot to say about this speech.
The parliamentary secretary said many things. He said that the government was in a minority and that it could not adopt its motions alone. That was raised earlier and it is very sad. We have come to the same conclusion as him, unfortunately. The other thing we share with him is his disappointment. He said he was disappointed in the people from the Bloc Québécois. As for us, we are rather disappointed in the parliamentary secretary and his party, which glosses over some elements of democracy. He said that we would say the same things and he repeated that there are 44 elected Liberals from Quebec and that they beat us. We have accepted the result of this election. Indeed, the member correctly identified the reasons and the specific context that explain this result.
I am starting to really look forward to the next election. The saddest thing in all this is that there are simply more elected members from Quebec who vote against the interests of Quebec. We saw that with the $814 million from the carbon tax. Quebec attended the meetings and Quebec contributed to paying that cheque and the 55 elected members from Quebec who are not part of the Bloc Québécois voted against the interests of Quebec. People will remember that.
