Mr. Speaker, after nine years of the NDP-Liberals, taxes are up, costs are up, crime is up and time is up. The Bloc has now officially decided to join the coalition so that it too can cause a bit of hardship for Canadians. It clearly supports skyrocketing rents, crime and chaos in our communities, and weakened wages.
Just the other day, the Premier of Quebec called on the Bloc to vote in favour of our non-confidence motion to end the tired government. I agree with him. Why does the Bloc not? Does it not shop at the same stores as the rest of us, where the carbon tax has driven up the price of everything? Can it not see the drug-fuelled crime in our streets? Maybe it is because it has the most MPs slated to benefit by getting a pension, just as the leader of the NDP will.
One thing is clear: The choice Canadians will have in the carbon tax election will be between the Liberal-NDP-Bloc coalition, which will continue to increase grocery prices, raise our rents, spend recklessly and allow crime to run rampant, and common-sense Conservatives, who will axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime.
