Mr. Speaker, for weeks the Prime Minister has been repeating over and over again that a team Canada approach is about knowing the time to do the right thing, but he sure does not understand that point. Multiple cabinet ministers have resigned, including the finance minister on the day she was supposed to deliver the disastrous Liberal budget update. In her resignation letter, she said the government needed to issue “costly political gimmicks” and that the Liberals are focused on themselves and not working for Canadians, yet the Prime Minister refuses to call an election.
The weak and self-interested NDP and Liberal backbench are complicit in his decimation of our country, propping him up while he pulls Canadians from one disaster to another. How many more deaths in the streets will it take for them to admit that it is over? How many violent demonstrations, business closures, lost jobs, lost homes, encampments of refugees in Canada's suburbs and tariff wars with allies will it take?
One man's ego is not worth this cost. No single person matters more than our country. Team Canada wants the Prime Minister to take his own advice and do the right thing and call an election now. Let us bring it home.
