Mr. Speaker, Canadians are not fooled by the empty Liberal rhetoric. For more than a dozen years, that party failed to address the pressing issues facing women. Its time in office represented lost years for the advancement of women as successive Liberal governments undermined women's safety and opportunity for economic advancement.
Whether it is the fight against violent crime, protection of the environment or elimination of poverty, the Liberals did not get it done.
On that side of the House, things have not improved. Under the current Liberal leader, high profile female MPs are leaving politics. Others are demoted in favour of men. Prominent female candidates have been pushed aside and the Liberals continue to hold annual “no women allowed” parties.
Actions speak louder than words. Liberals make promises but they never deliver. Canadian women are not buying what Liberals are selling.
