Mr. Speaker, we just saw a demonstration from the member of Parliament for Timmins—James Bay of why he will not run for re-election. He does not represent any of the views of his constituents. The reason he said he will be here all weekend is that—

Mr. Speaker, I will take no lessons in honour from the NDP House leader, who has no lessons to give. I would ask the member for Timmins—James Bay if he could put it on the record today and talk about some of the oil workers he has talked to in his riding and share their comments on the unjust transition bill. Has the member had conversations with some of the people who work hard? He talked about the Alberta Federation of Labour. I am sure the members of the natural resources committee talked to them as well. I believe our natural resources committee members on the Conservative side have canvassed far and wide to hear how people feel about the unjust transition act. Has the member? If he is so confident, maybe he should decide to re-offer and run again in Timmins—James Bay.

Mr. Speaker, I invite the government House leader to come out to Regina. Scott Moe and I could have a beer with him, and we could figure out what Scott really said about the carbon tax. Just last week, the Prime Minister raised the carbon tax by 23%. That increased the price of gas, groceries and home heating for all Canadians. I am unsure of why the Prime Minister is so scared to meet with all the premiers. Six, seven, eight premiers want to meet with the Prime Minister to see what he has to say about his flagship carbon tax policy. Why will he not listen? Does he just not care?

Mr. Speaker, one of the first things we are going to cut is about 70 or 80 Liberal MPs in the next election. Second, nine out of 10 young Canadians believe they will never own a home under the Liberal government. It is embarrassing. Canadians used to be able to pay off a home in 25 years, and now it takes 25 years to save for a down payment. The Prime Minister refuses to listen to our premiers. If he is so proud of his carbon tax, will the Coward of the County come out of his house and actually meet with premiers?
