Mr. Speaker, today at 2 p.m., behind closed doors in a Toronto office building, the Liberal Party of Canada began proceedings to expel the executive of the Liberal York South-Weston Riding Association. Their only crime: supporting their MP. His only crime: trying to honour his party's promise.
I read to you a quote from the Liberal red book: "After nine years of Conservative rule, cynicism about public institutions, governments, politicians and the political process is at an all-time high. Integrity in our political institutions must be restored".
The Liberals have expelled an MP for keeping his word. They are now taking action to expel their own party members who choose to support their duly elected member of Parliament. So much for restoring integrity, another broken red book promise. It is now crystal clear: Liberal, Tory, same old story.
It is time for a fresh start. It is time to elect a Reform government that gives a guarantee with its promises.
