Madam Speaker, as always, I acknowledge and appreciate my colleague's contribution to this debate.
That said, I need to set the record straight about a few things. It always makes me laugh when he talks about the third link. Does he remember his leader's truly impressive dithering during the election campaign? In the morning, he was in favour of it; in the afternoon, he was no longer sure; and by evening, he was against it. The next day, his MPs had no idea what to do. That was the Bloc Québécois's position on the third link during the last campaign. He wants to bring it up again? Fine, but those are the facts.
He said that we are not committed and do not want to do anything. That is completely false. We set out specific commitments on housing and auto theft. They are very specific and very detailed.
The Bloc Québécois folks are telling us with a straight face that they will give the government a chance. After nine years, how can the Bloc Québécois have confidence in this Prime Minister, the most centralist, wasteful and anti-Quebec prime minister we have ever had?
