Mr. Speaker, there is a cloud looming over this country, one which this government, led by the Prime Minister, has precipitated.
The state of the economy, in the hands of the minister of fiscal mismanagement, is now akin to the Enron ride of broken dreams.
We need only look at the income trust debacle for proof of the Conservative government's inability to understand the consequences of its actions. Or perhaps the well-being of millions of Canadian retirees does not matter to the Conservative government.
Our internationally renowned health care system is now more than ever in danger of wasting away because of the Conservative government's wilful inaction and disregard for the values espoused by Lester B. Pearson.
Ever since the Conservative government came to power, it claimed accountability, integrity and honesty in government, yet when confronted by truth, it fires, forces out and silences anyone who does not toe this dangerously partisan line.
Has the Prime Minister fooled himself into believing the Canadian public cannot see the truth through the Conservative smog?
