Madam Speaker, I rise today to present a petition on behalf of my constituents of Macleod. The petition states that Canadians voted on October 14, 2008, which resulted in a strengthened mandate for a Conservative minority government. However, the unelected Liberal-NDP-separatist coalition would like to overturn the results of that democratic vote and choose their own prime minister through an unseemly and undemocratic backroom deal.
The signatories of this petition clearly oppose any political arrangement that would replace the democratically elected Conservative government without first consulting Canadians in an open and democratic election. On behalf of my constituents, I am honoured to present this petition.
