Mr. Speaker, Canadians have good reasons for doubting the government, because it has failed Canadians every time.
Take Hamilton, for example, where U.S. Steel broke promises to employed Canadians and, when meekly challenged by the government, was able to get the Conservatives to give way simply by making more promises. What about the broken promises of Rio Tinto, the broken promises of Vale? Time after time after time the government backs down, rolls over and does not enforce conditions.
Why are Conservatives asking Canadians to trust them on Nexen when they cannot get it right anywhere else?
