Mr. Speaker, last night, a motion calling on the government to step down was passed in this House.
With that vote, the Bloc Québécois has confirmed its commitment toward Quebeckers to defend the best interests of Quebec.
To do otherwise would have meant the Bloc Québécois was condoning the action of a government that denies the Quebec difference, that refuses to recognize the fiscal imbalance, that ignores the urgent needs of the unemployed and that scoffs at Quebec's constitutional jurisdictions.
To do otherwise would have meant the Bloc Québécois was condoning a corrupt regime that did not hesitate to pig out at the public trough.
To do otherwise would have meant the Bloc Québécois was condoning a government that, for two weeks now, as a last ditch effort, has been throwing around billions of dollars to try to hang on to power.
The Liberal government does not have the legitimacy or the moral authority to govern. Today we are vehemently denouncing it.
