Mr. Speaker, I listened intently to the hon. member's speech. There were a number of things that resonated with me, but a key one he mentioned was that we need to listen to the people on the ground. We need to listen to the people in our communities. I know that my community, my region of Cariboo—Prince George, has unprecedented levels of homelessness that it did not have nine years ago. I know that our colleague is probably experiencing the same in his neck of the woods. If we are to truly listen to the people who elected us to be here, will the member and his colleagues vote with our Conservative caucus next week in the confidence vote and let Canadians choose in a carbon tax election?

Madam Speaker, we can never do enough to hear, and it is true that we also have to listen. A lot of the people I heard from were referring to the fact that, specifically about this legislation, they were not consulted. It may have been in other formats, done by other people, but not by this government and not for this legislation. I hope we can continue to work together to ensure they are brought to committee, but also to bring forward the recommendations we heard in the veterans committee study about women's health to be included in the work of the national defence committee.
