Madam Speaker, the Bloc members at times, very rarely but at times, do show some indication that perhaps they want to make the government accountable, something other than their trying to figure out a way to break the country up. There are rare occasions.
That is why I bring to the attention of the hon. member, to the attention of the House, to the attention of the Speaker, and through the Speaker to the people of Canada that this official opposition really does not belong in the situation we are in. They stand up
here today and talk about tax changes and blame the Liberals, when it was the Tories who did it and would do it again if they ever got in office.
Then the hon. member does not like it. He does not like it because what I have taken out of Hansard is something which I could never understand but I do know why they did it. That is how the official opposition could turn around and approve and support it and say: ``Bring it on. We love it. It is just as good as sliced bread''. Massive tax changes that they were supposed to be objecting to.
They supported the very thing today they blame the Liberals for, for more flows of capital into the United States. They asked for more. Why? They asked for more because during the debate in the House where I took these quotations from they said that they were preparing for separation. Therefore they would like to have lots of ways of getting capital into the United States because they want to deal directly with the United States. That was the logic used. According to that logic they are not fulfilling their duties as the official opposition.
What the Bloc members are scratching about now is when they realized the Government of Canada has been so fantastic as to lead the industrialized world in economic growth, the member complains about contributions to the Liberal Party. The official figures show that Canada leads Italy, France, the U.K., Germany, Japan and the United States and stands all alone in economic growth for next year. At that rate one would expect the contributions to increase.
