Sometimes I sit back and I look across the aisle and I’m thinking, how do these people get elected? I really ask myself, how do they get elected? If their constituents actually were here and saw how they vote—and they vote to make sure we have the highest carbon tax, vote against every housing policy, vote against $180 billion of infrastructure, vote against all our great health care initiatives—they would never be voted in.

As a matter of fact—I know this is a little fantasy—imagine we stuck them in one part of the province, and the rest of us there. They’d go bankrupt. The businesses would leave. People would be moving out. They’d have tent cities all around their little region there. It would be an absolute disaster. That’s the reason they will never get elected to be running the government.

Interjections.

You voted no against the subway that the people wanted in Scarborough. They voted no for the new hospital that people wanted. They voted no to the long-term-care homes.

So please, I beg you, you’re such a nice person, start getting onside with the people of Scarborough and start supporting them, and start voting for the housing initiatives that we put forward.
