Mr. Speaker, there is only one person keeping the Prime Minister in power and it is the leader of the NDP. Do members remember the stunt the NDP leader pulled just before the by-election in Elmwood—Transcona when he claimed he had ripped up his coalition deal with the Liberals? Well, it was just a stunt designed to deceive voters there. He said, “the Liberals are too weak, too selfish and too beholden to corporate interests to fight for people.” Many agreed, but actions speak louder than words.
The NDP leader is the weak one because he still backs the Liberals and their costly, destructive policies. He has voted for the costly Liberal carbon tax over 24 times, pushing more than two million Canadians to food banks every month. He has voted for Liberal inflationary spending, backing waste like the Prime Minister's arrive scam. He supports hard drug legalization and soft-on-crime policies that led to a 50% increase in violent crime. He has sold out Canadians by supporting the Liberals, while supercharging crime, chaos, death and destruction in our communities.
Every day the Prime Minister remains in power is because of the NDP leader. We need a carbon tax election now.
