Mr. Speaker, in a very disappointing move yesterday, the Bloc Québécois saved this government yet again.
Since the leader of the Bloc Québécois arrived in Ottawa, his party has voted in favour of more than $520 billion in Liberal spending. They have voted to support this government nearly 200 times. To achieve what? One has to wonder.
The public service has practically doubled in size, consulting firms have been hired, and yet services have deteriorated. Meanwhile, the Bloc Québécois, which claims to defend Quebec's interests, supports spending that is only feeding an increasingly large and centralized federal government. How can the Bloc claim, with their hands on their hearts, to want Quebec independence while actively collaborating with the federal Liberals?
That is not the way to serve the interests of Quebec. Quebeckers deserve better than this Bloc-Liberal coalition that is turning its back on their true aspirations and hitting them in their wallets. They deserve better.
They deserve a Conservative government.
