Mr. Speaker, there has been a sighting. The constituents of LaSalle--Émard had their MP surface in the House of Commons just the other day. He walks, he talks, he votes, but not very often. It is a big old country out there and it keeps a guy busy criss-crossing it, don't you know. He hardly has the time to take a stand, for goodness' sake. In fact, we would like to know where he really does stand.
On the gun registry: set your sights on this, Mr. Speaker. He okayed the cash for that billion dollar boondoggle.
On the health care crisis: he said “I will fix it”. No, wait a minute. He signed all the orders to choke the funding so badly, it is on life support.
On democracy: oh yes, he is the great defender. No, wait a minute, that is, he is the great pretender.
On Iraq: Silence is golden.
On defence: he said “I will raise money for defence”. Oops, I am sure it was he who was the one that drove a tank right through their budget. Well, tanks for nothing.
But in the spirit of the season, let me say to him:
Roses are red, Violets are blue. We need a new Prime Minister, But it sure ain't you.
