Mr. Speaker, I understand that the government has just moved a motion, but the Chair had given notice that a ruling on a question of privilege would be forthcoming. Because it is a question of privilege, that always supersedes everything else that goes throughout the day. I was wondering if the Speaker would be delivering his ruling on the question of privilege before entertaining this motion.

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is just not worth the cost. Now his carbon tax scheme is completely falling apart. First, his own budget watchdog proved conclusively that most Canadians are worse off, even with the rebate. Then he was humiliated into granting a partial carve-out, because his Liberal MPs were sick of the backlash they were getting from their voters. Now a majority of premiers are demanding an emergency carbon tax conference to put forward better ideas than his punishing tax. If the Prime Minister is so sure that his carbon tax is good, then why does he not just sit down and listen to the premiers?

Mr. Speaker, none of that is true. What is true is that yesterday, in a historic vote, a majority of MPs demanded that the Prime Minister sit down and just listen to the premiers. It baffles understanding that he is so afraid of meeting with them. It is not as though they are going to ask him to put together Ikea furniture or help them move. They just want to put forward better ideas than hiking prices on everything. What is he so afraid of? Is it Doug? Is it Blaine? I know Scott Moe. He is a really nice guy. Why does the Prime Minister not just meet with him?

Mr. Speaker, I am not sure there is any point in asking the Thursday question, because the calendar seems to change at a moment's notice, but if the government House leader would like to give us something we can hope for next week, I will let him do so now.
