Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Québécois has set an ultimatum for October 29 in an effort to intimidate its friend, the Liberal Prime Minister. On the morning of October 30, the day before Halloween, nothing will change. The government will still be in office. This is nothing but the same old window dressing, the smoke and mirrors we have come to expect from the Bloc.
The Bloc Québécois has abandoned Quebec. It voted more than 180 times to keep our most expensive government in power, a government that has trampled over Quebec's jurisdictions and left immigration broken. The Bloc Québécois voted for $500 billion in inflationary spending that added 100,000 public servants and doubled the federal debt. That is one of the reasons it is called the “Liberal Bloc”.
The Bloc claims to be the defender of Quebeckers, yet it failed to defend even the regions targeted by the caribou order. The Bloc Québécois is a very poor negotiator. It got nothing in return for a vote that is keeping the Liberals in power.
I have some advice for Quebeckers: Beware of the Bloc Québécois.
