Mr. Speaker, thank you for this opportunity to say a few words about my colleague from Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, although I do not know if I should use that term for the member across the way.
His speech addressed the actions of the government. I would like to remind him that I have already heard this same critic say such things as “What was scrapped in Canada was not the GST, but the health care system, particularly in Quebec”. These words were pronounced here in this very House on October 25, 1999.
A little later, referring to the action of the federal government, he said the following. “Yes, people are tired of the constitutional debate, but they certainly need a break from the provocation carried on for the past 30 years by the leaders of the Liberal Party of Canada”. This was on November 29, 1999, right here in this House.
Another quote of his, this time on poverty. “In the seven years since the Liberals took office, poverty in families and child poverty have gone up 50%.” This the member over there said on March 20, 2000 in this House.
Here then is the question I would like to ask him: When is he going to change hats again? When is he going to change parties again?
