Mr. Speaker, I will tell my colleague what political games and a reluctance to collaborate look like. It is when the Prime Minister meets with party leaders to discuss their budget expectations, when a speech has already been written for that very evening in which he completely ignores their requests. There is not a word about seniors or health care, nor any commitment to transfer money unconditionally to Quebec for infrastructure or for social and community housing. There is nothing about the $814 million that was stolen from Quebeckers to write vote-buying cheques to Canadians.
Why is the Prime Minister playing political games instead of addressing Quebeckers' needs?
