Madam Speaker, after nine years of the NDP-Liberals, taxes are up, costs are up, crime is up and time is up. Why is that? Two years ago, when the NDP leader could not beat the Liberal Prime Minister, he joined him. Their cozy coalition has led to higher taxes, higher food prices and skyrocketing crime.
Recently, the NDP leader said he was ending the partnership, but it was all a charade. He said the Liberal government is the worst ever and claimed it should not be re-elected. Despite his theatrics, the NDP leader once again confirmed yesterday that he still stands with the Liberal Prime Minister.
The NDP leader speaks of it being “the people's time”. I agree. Let us let the people decide who is right and call a carbon tax election now. Canadians can choose the continually costly coalition of the NDP-Liberal government, which means ever-higher taxes, less money for gas, groceries and housing, and more crime in our communities, or Canadians can choose a new government led by our common-sense Conservative leader, who has a plan to axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime.
