Mr. Speaker, I am extremely disappointed with the events yesterday wherein the Bloc, supported by the New Democratic Party, refused to allow the House to bring an end to the economic chaos that has enveloped our country due to the rail strike in progress.
What is frustrating about this is there is no honourable basis for the actions of the Bloc party. It is simply sticking to its agenda of separation by allowing the Canadian economy to take a beating. Bloc members will not lose any sleep over that. They might see it as helping their battered agenda.
As for the NDP members, they continue to close their eyes to the real issues, the needs of farmers, manufacturers and many others negatively affected across Canada.
What does the premier of Saskatchewan say about their actions? Does his NDP government support what they are doing to the economy?
We have had a chance to act together for the good of our country and the Bloc and the NDP let us down for an alternate selfish agenda.
My constituents, my government and I are extremely disappointed.
