Mr. Speaker, members know the saying “like father, like son”. Yesterday we learned that the member for Papineau directly attacked the great people of Alberta, by saying:
Canada is in bad shape right now because Albertans are controlling our community and social democratic agenda. That's not working.
This should come as no surprise, as the member's father introduced the devastating national energy program that killed thousands of jobs in Alberta. Liberals always refuse to recognize Alberta as a key part of our federation, and that is why they have been downgraded to third-party status by Canadians.
These comments come days after the member for Ottawa South had to resign as senior spokesman for natural resources for telling us to go back to Alberta if we wanted to defend the interests of Albertans. These comments should come as no surprise. The Liberals have never and will never change their ways.
