Mr. Speaker, as expected, the Bloc Québécois motion was rejected by the Liberal government yesterday, proving once again that everything they said over the past few weeks was meaningless.
What is the point of the Bloc Québécois? Spending is higher than ever and there are more public servants than ever before, all paid for with Quebeckers' money.
What is the Bloc Québécois's objective today? They voted with the Liberals and the NDP to keep this government in place. This is a government that is always infringing on provincial jurisdictions.
The Bloc Québécois had the chance to work with the future Conservative government to bring down the current government, or at least to negotiate on behalf of Quebeckers on the woodland caribou issue. The Bloc must be the worst negotiator in history. The Bloc Québécois is selling its soul to the Liberals and getting nothing for Quebec. The Bloc Québécois now wants people to believe that it will bring down the government on October 29.
Does the Bloc not realize that all Canadians, including Quebeckers, want an election?
People can rest assured that once the election is called, the Conservatives will be there to stand up for Canadians and bring home common sense.
