Mr. Speaker, the NDP-Liberal government can be summed up by two principles: pensions and power.
The leader of the NDP will continue to vote confidence in the government so he can receive his pension. It is the perfect partnership. The Prime Minister gets the power and New Democrats get their pensions. It is more hypocrisy from the Maserati Marxist, champagne socialist, jet-setting, high-carbon coalition that has broken our economy, doubled our housing costs, and crippled our natural resource, agriculture and transport sectors. It brought in back-breaking regulations and taxation that have led to record numbers at our food banks and sky-high violent crime.
The New Democrats make their grandiose announcements about breaking up with their Liberal partners, but when push comes to shove, they continue to prop up the very government that has gotten us into this mess. When will the leader of the NDP finally stop the talk, take some action and call a carbon tax election so Canadians can decide between the carbon tax coalition and a common-sense Conservative government that will axe the tax, stop the crime and fix the budget?
