Mr. Speaker, it does not bother me to talk about the Conservative Party with my colleague, who is from Quebec and defends Quebec's interests.
The Conservative Party is still the party that recognized Quebec as a distinct society under Prime Minister Harper. On top of that, we gave Quebec a seat at the UN and signed an asymmetrical health agreement with the Quebec government. That was a first. People need to be careful about the stones they throw at the Conservative Party.
What we are talking about today is how the party in power is managing things. We are talking about the Liberal Party's mismanagement, as it spends recklessly, cannot balance the budget and is plunging Canadians into poverty. I simply do not understand how a colleague whose party has supported this government nearly 200 times could ask me such a thing.
