Mr. Speaker, the Liberals have been losing control for years. It has just been behind closed doors. Now, they have lost control for all to see.
The deputy prime minister and minister of finance resigned today in a shocking move, saying that she no longer had the confidence of the Prime Minister. She left on the day she was planning on tabling a Titanic-sized deficit. I wish I could say this was a shock, but it is par for the course for a government that is in perpetual chaos. The irony is that the NDP and its sellout leader now have more confidence in the Prime Minister than his own inner circle does.
The real tragedy of it all is that it is Canadians who are hurting. Nine years of their wreaking havoc has been absolute devastation to our people. Canadians need an election now, so we can end the chaos, the corruption and the economic destruction brought about by the Liberal-NDP government, and let Canadians elect common-sense Conservatives to fix what that costly coalition has broken.
