Mr. Speaker, last week, from Comox to Port Alberni, Nanaimo to Parksville and throughout the Lower Mainland, British Columbians came out to hear the Leader of the Opposition.
In our communities, Canadians do not care about Liberal and Conservative mudslinging from inside the Ottawa bubble. They want to hear about what matters to them.
Last week, that is what our leader was doing. He was talking about jobs, about making life more affordable, supporting veterans, protecting our environment, and fixing Ottawa.
From farmers' markets to town halls to meeting folks in coffee shops, everywhere it was clear: British Columbians want change.
From the island to the north, support for the Leader of the Opposition continues to grow, and in 2015, British Columbians will vote for the NDP in record numbers, because they know it is New Democrats who take on and defeat Conservatives.
Canadians know that with the NDP, they can vote for the change they want and actually get it.
