The Canadians woke up this morning and were shocked to learn they have a new NDP Liberal government
00:00:06.320
that is planning to spend and tax unlike anything we've seen before.
00:00:13.720
Now we understand why the NDP have been so eager to prop up the Liberals and their unethical behaviour.
00:00:20.400
It's because they have been cooking up a secret backroom deal.
00:00:24.560
My question to the leader of the new NDP Liberal Party is this.
00:00:30.280
When did he start these secret talks with his new Deputy Prime Minister, the Member for Burnaby South?
00:00:35.920
Was it before, during, or just after the last election?
00:00:44.600
Mr. Speaker, what this agreement means is in this time of uncertainty and pressures on Canadians,
00:00:50.300
we're going to have predictability and an ability to focus on delivering the things that Canadians asked us all for collectively
00:01:00.520
More investments in housing, better support for families, help with the cost of living,
00:01:06.780
growth for Canadians, the fight against climate change increased, and support on reconciliation.
00:01:13.160
The toxicity and polarization that we've seen in Parliament in the past
00:01:17.240
is now an opportunity for us to deliver for Canadians, and that's what we shall do.
00:01:23.660
The Honourable Leader of the Official Opposition.
00:01:26.020
The Honourable Leader of the Official Opposition are already suffering because of massive inflation,
00:01:30.340
which is caused by the out-of-control spending of the old Liberal government.
00:01:34.360
Now, Canadians are going to be living with a new NDP Liberal government,
00:01:42.100
The NDP Liberal government's initial platform will cost over $200 billion,
00:01:51.260
Can the NDP Liberal Prime Minister tell Canadians how much this backroom deal is going to cost them?
00:02:02.720
Mr. Speaker, we made a commitment in the last election to invest in housing,
00:02:08.240
to invest in support for families, to invest in childcare, to grow the economy,
00:02:13.420
to fight the pandemic, to move forward on fighting climate change.
00:02:17.920
These are all things that we continue to be focused on,
00:02:21.560
and Mr. Speaker, what we're going to see is an ability to work across party lines
00:02:26.080
to reduce the toxic partisanship that we've seen in the past in this House,
00:02:30.620
and actually move forward on delivering concretely for Canadians.
00:02:38.580
The Honourable Leader of the Official Opposition.
00:02:40.980
Speaker, we've seen an attack from the left on Canada's oil and gas sector,
00:02:49.740
And now, that extreme left-wing agenda has been baked into this secret backroom deal.
00:02:56.400
The NDP Liberal platform will double down and intensify the attack
00:03:05.020
So, Canadians deserve to know how many more jobs are going to be lost,
00:03:12.040
because of the NDP Liberal government and their backroom deal.
00:03:19.720
Mr. Speaker, Canadians saw what aggressive partisanship and toxicity in this place
00:03:25.240
led to, in terms of a slowed-down agenda, delivering for Canadians.
00:03:31.600
What we've been able to do in moving forward during this pandemic,
00:03:37.920
is actually what we're going to be able to continue to do moving forward.
00:03:42.080
Deliver on the things that we stood up for in the last election.
00:03:47.160
Deliver for Canadians and the things that they need to grow the economy,
00:04:04.020
and it disrespects every single Canadian voter.
00:04:10.360
and they're going up, unfairly punishing Canadians and families.
00:04:13.700
But today, Conservatives have proposed a reasonable
00:04:16.380
and positive solution to save Canadians money at the gas pump.
00:04:23.500
and we always want to lower taxes for all Canadians.
00:04:27.100
Will the NDP Liberal government tell this House if they support our motion,
00:04:31.160
or will their first act as a coalition government
00:04:34.520
be to continue punishing Canadians with high taxes at the gas pumps?
00:04:44.040
The Leader of the Official Opposition needs to be careful
00:04:50.400
not spreading misinformation and disinformation at the same time.
00:04:54.660
Mr. Speaker, Canadians returned this Parliament
00:05:00.780
because they expected parties to work together collaboratively
00:05:06.440
That is exactly what we're doing as we reach out across party lines
00:05:13.540
and there will be plenty of room for robust, informed debate
00:05:19.440
That's how Parliament should work, Mr. Speaker,
00:05:21.680
and we will continue to stand up for democracy.
