Mr. Speaker, after nine years of the Prime Minister and the Liberal government, our country is broken. Canadians are struggling more than they have in decades. Our communities, our provinces and our cities look like war zones. We have a Prime Minister who has lost his way.
Today, we have more Canadians who are facing homelessness, more Canadians who cannot afford to feed their children and more Canadians accessing food banks than ever before. What does the Prime Minister do? He takes to the U.S. airwaves to deliver his message. Why? He is afraid to stand before Canadians and answer the tough questions. Once again, he runs and takes to the U.S. airwaves that pander to him and he answers lob questions.
We are all here to deliver for our constituents. There are 338 members of Parliament who have been elected to be the voices of Canadians. The House is a House of Commons for the common people. The carpet is green for the common people. We said before, early on in the Prime Minister's tenure, that if the carpet was red or if there was a red carpet going up to his seat, maybe he would appear here more often than he has. Maybe he would take it more seriously.
What I am hearing on the doorsteps, and not just in my riding of Cariboo—Prince George but all across this country, is that Canadians have lost confidence in the government and in the Prime Minister. The Liberal government has given up on Canadians. It has failed Canadians.
I received a call from Tina, a constituent of mine from Horsefly, B.C., just yesterday. She is a disabled indigenous childhood trauma survivor who said, “When the Liberals stand in the House of Commons and claim they are helping the most vulnerable Canadians, they are lying. I am being impoverished by the NDP and Liberals—”
