Mr. Speaker, this caucus is proud of its principles and that is why tonight we will stand in opposition to the direction being taken by the government. This is the wrong direction for Canada.
Instead of moving forward on climate change, the Conservatives want to gut the clean air act. Instead of protecting farm families, what will they do? They will gut the Wheat Board. Instead of tackling the prosperity gap that is leaving people behind, they pretend it does not even exist. They have made no mention of seniors or women. The only mention of youth was under “crime”.
Why, with this incredible opportunity, is the Prime Minister leaving so many Canadians behind?
