Mr. Speaker, last week some more light was shed on the Liberals' arrogant beliefs and divisive attitudes.
First, the disgraced senior Liberal spokesperson for natural resources made outrageous comments showing the Liberals' anti-Alberta, anti-energy agenda. Furthermore, the member for Ottawa South said that MPs from Alberta did not belong here in Parliament and should “go home”.
This anti-energy prejudice is the same the Liberals had when they brought in the disastrous national energy program in the 1980s, a program that damaged the economy and cost Albertans billions of dollars.
Then we heard from the Liberal critic for amateur sport, the member for Papineau, who directly attacked Albertans by saying:
Canada is in bad shape right now because Albertans are controlling our communities....
These divisive comments do not belong here in Parliament. They are anti-Canadian and unbecoming even to the Liberal Party. That is why I am calling on the Liberal leader to fire his critic for amateur sport.
