Madam Speaker, I have been working with my colleague for several years and I respect him, but I must say that he has shown only one side of the coin.
He forgot all the times the NDP voted to move files forward. We are here to advance the cause of ordinary Canadians. My colleague knows that. Right now, the Conservatives systematically want to block everything. They do not want anything to happen in the House of Commons. Even when Quebec’s farmers or teachers want us to pass bills, the Conservatives refuse. They absolutely do not want it to happen.
The NDP pushed to have the government implement a dental care program and, for the first time, an affordable housing program. My question is very simple.
Why does the Bloc simply stand by when it has seen the Conservatives’ systematic obstruction in the past months?
