Mr. Speaker, the member can distort my record instead of defending his own.
He is a part of the government, this former corporate lobbyist and party staffer who spent his time making money off the political system, and he can explain why he and his government have presided over the largest number of strikes in the last 40 years of Canadian history. Never have there been more strikes than since 1983.
The Liberals, with the help of the NDP, have consistently overpowered the rights of workers to carry out those strikes and used their legal authority to rob workers of their autonomy and their independent decision-making. That is their record.
By the way, it is the first time in our history that people with good union jobs cannot afford homes. It is the first time in history that, en masse, union workers are lined up at food banks. That is the tragic record of the broken government. That is why we need a common-sense Conservative government. We will bring home the country we knew and loved.
