Mr. Speaker, Canadians elect members of Parliament to be their voice in Ottawa, not Ottawa's voice or their leader's voice in their communities, but the Conservative leader shamefully puts his own interests ahead of Canadians'.
We announced a tax break for all Canadians and a $250 rebate to put more money in the pockets of working Canadians. Conservative MPs know their constituents want this, need this and support this, but the Conservative leader is muzzling them and forcing them to vote against direct support for Canadians. Shame on him.
