Mr. Speaker, do you remember the 1993 election? The Liberals won because they promised to eliminate GST and do away with free trade, but they reneged.
Instead, they raised taxes and increased spending. In the process, their misplaced priorities damaged our health care, defence and agriculture. They bought votes with taxpayer money.
Then came the scandals: Somalia, tainted blood, the HRDC $1 billion boondoggle, the gun registry fiasco, the list goes on, and damaging Auditor General's reports, one after another. Meanwhile, western alienation has gone from bad to worse.
The Gomery inquiry brought the corruption in the Liberal government to light. The Liberals put tax dollars into the party's coffers.
They made deals with the NDP on the budget to prop themselves up.
Then came the new low: the Prime Minister's office buying MPs' votes to save non-confidence votes.
It is little wonder Canadians are losing confidence in the Liberals.
