Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
The history of the Liberal Party's election campaigns is revealing. In 1974, they promised not to freeze wages and prices. They did not keep their word. In 1979, they made a commitment not to raise the gasoline tax. They did not keep their word. In 1989, they promised to tear up the free trade agreement if elected. They did not keep their word. In 1993, they got elected on the promise of eliminating the GST, and again they did not keep their word. And that is not to mention countless unkept constitutional promises made to the people of Quebec.
Facts clearly show that, in every election over the past 20 years, the Liberal Party has repeatedly taken office under false pretences.
How can the Prime Minister still expect the public to have any confidence in his government?
