Mr. Speaker, when we persuaded the Conservatives to put $1 billion forward to help the unemployed, we voted for it. They accepted our good and practical proposal.
I will match the Conservative stubbornness to not work with other people with a relentless focus on helping Canadian families, day in and day out.
The Conservative government does not have to go down like Joe Clark or Paul Martin. The Conservatives could change their ways and they could change their budget. However, they are just plain stubborn. If they are serious, we are ready to work.
Why are the Conservatives intent on provoking an election?
