Madam Speaker, one of the basic ingredients required in a civil society is the element of trust. One must place a certain degree of trust in the driver of an oncoming car to stay on the right side of the road or to stop at a red light. We place a certain trust in our neighbours. We place an even greater trust in our families and in our spouses.
Canadians trusted the Liberals in the 2000 election when in 1999 they voted to preserve the traditional definition of marriage. Their refusal to uphold this commitment betrays the trust of Canadians. The Liberals cannot be trusted.
Canadians trusted the wannabe Prime Minister when he promised to scrap the GST. He broke his promise. The Liberals cannot be trusted.
Canadians trusted the former finance minister with their EI funds. That minister used their money to pay his bills. The Liberals cannot be trusted.
The Canadian people have been betrayed. Liberals cannot be trusted.
