Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague asks a good question. Can we trust the government? When the government leads people to believe one thing but then does another, trust is broken. When the government puts Canadians further and further into debt, it results in inflation, increased taxation and cutbacks to social programs. When a government functions in that capacity, of course, trust is broken.
When a government overreaches and tries to control the Canadian people rather than believing in their potential, trust is broken. All in all, the government has functioned in such a way that Canadians really have no reason to trust it.
