Mr. Speaker, Canadian political news right now makes binge-worthy political dramas on Netflix look tame. Here is the plot: There are allegations of fraud, arson, destruction of records, grounded private jets, missing witnesses and unfulfilled contracts.
The scandals with the just recently former minister of employment are stacking up. He claimed to be indigenous, even though he was not, but he certainly wanted to be because he netted millions in contracts that were supposed to go to indigenous-owned businesses. It has been revealed that there were connections between that former minister and an international drug-smuggling ring, and claims that the so-called Randy, who he kept denying he was, netted millions in government contracts.
That minister may be out, but here are the brass tacks of the situation: It is time for Canadians to put the morally questionable and corrupt government on notice. It is time for a carbon tax election, so Canadians can elect a common-sense Conservative government to restore order and accountability and bring home a country that does the work Canadians expect.
