Mr. Speaker, exactly one year ago, on December 1, 2008, the leaders of the Liberal Party, the Bloc Québécois and the NDP signed a shocking agreement aimed at bringing down a government that was democratically elected less than two months earlier in order to form a coalition.
Even the Bloc, a sovereignist party, was part of that agreement. A sovereignist party governing our country? Seriously!
The opposition parties dreamed of taking power without an election. How scandalous! It came as no surprise that Canadians from coast to coast to coast were shocked by this secret, undemocratic political scheme. Quebeckers and Canadians want action, not partisanship.
Our government cares about Quebeckers and Canadians. It will continue to implement Canada's economic action plan and focus on the economy.
