Mr. Speaker, last week as community groups across the nation put the final touches on the Christmas hamper programs, they were shocked to hear that the Liberal government was considering tax breaks for millionaire athletes.
The government has been one disappointment after another. It fails to introduce tough young offender laws and has an immigration system that attracts criminals.
Government revenues have skyrocketed but it offers no real tax relief. It has destroyed the morale and competency of our armed forces. It lets hepatitis C victims die without compensation. It lets family farms and small businesses go bankrupt because of heavy taxes, yet ignores families that are asked to be politically correct.
We have a prime minister, a modern day Emperor Nero, who fiddles while he watches the country crumble as a direct result of his policies.
The government's lack of vision is destroying the country. History tells us what happened to Rome. What will history tell us of this government?
