Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Deputy Prime Minister of Canada announced her resignation as the member for Hamilton East, because the government has refused to fulfil its election promises.
The resignation of Canada's Deputy Prime Minister is yet another flagrant example of how the federal Liberal government has thumbed its nose at the voting public by refusing to scrap the GST.
First, the member for York South-Weston was kicked out, and now the member for Hamilton East finds herself leaving the ranks of the federal Liberals. What is the Prime Minister waiting for to state publicly that he and his party made a mistake in promising taxpayers that they would abolish the GST, as the finance minister admitted last week?
The credibility of all members of Parliament has suffered. What is the Prime Minister waiting for to admit his mistake?
