Mr. Speaker, I would like to remind you, the hon. member and the House that in fact it was the Liberals who signed the landmark agreements, whether it was on child care, the Kyoto protocol or the Kelowna accord. It was the previous Liberal government. The NDP brought that government down so that the poorest of the poor could pay more taxes, so the elderly could wait longer for health care, so that children could give up hope on Kyoto and real action on the environment, so that aboriginal people could give up hope on the promises of the Kelowna accord, and so that working families across this country could give up on child care. For the NDP, it was worth a few more seats to see this country go in a reverse direction on the gains made for all Canadians.
What has it meant? I can say that the New Democratic Party traded its soul for a few more seats. Now the NDP would rather trade with the Conservatives in the House for political gains instead of getting things done for Canadians. It would rather see more inaction and try its luck for a seat or two more while Canadians once again wait in vain for a responsible government. Canadians do not want an election now.
