00:00:00.000 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.
00:00:11.000 Now things are starting to make sense.
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?
00:00:41.920 The Right Honourable Prime Minister.
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
00:00:58.640 in the last election.
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,
00:01:38.800 and that price tag has just skyrocketed.
00:01:42.100 The NDP Liberal government's initial platform will cost over $200 billion,
00:01:48.400 and that is just the tip of the iceberg.
00:01:51.260 Can the NDP Liberal Prime Minister tell Canadians how much this backroom deal is going to cost them?
00:01:58.000 How much?
00:02:01.000 To the Right Honourable Prime Minister.
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.
00:02:34.800 That's what Canadians want.
00:02:36.400 That's what we're going to deliver.
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,
00:02:45.380 our agricultural sector, and fisheries.
00:02:48.060 All huge job creators.
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
00:03:01.660 on Canadian natural resources and jobs.
00:03:05.020 So, Canadians deserve to know how many more jobs are going to be lost,
00:03:09.440 specifically in our natural resources,
00:03:12.040 because of the NDP Liberal government and their backroom deal.
00:03:15.460 Here, here, here.
00:03:17.400 The Right Honourable Prime Minister.
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,
00:03:36.160 seeing Canadians come together,
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,
00:03:50.380 create good jobs for everyone,
00:03:52.740 while fully continuing to respect Parliament.
00:03:58.740 Mr. Speaker, make no mistake, Mr. Speaker,
00:04:01.300 this backroom deal disrespects Parliament,
00:04:04.020 and it disrespects every single Canadian voter.
00:04:08.040 Gas prices right now are shockingly high,
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.
00:04:20.900 Conservatives are consistently Conservative,
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?
00:04:39.520 The Right Honourable Prime Minister.
00:04:44.040 The Leader of the Official Opposition needs to be careful
00:04:47.760 when she's talking about supporting democracy,
00:04:50.400 not spreading misinformation and disinformation at the same time.
00:04:54.660 Mr. Speaker, Canadians returned this Parliament
00:04:58.200 in the minority situation in the last election
00:05:00.780 because they expected parties to work together collaboratively
00:05:04.680 to deliver for Canadians.
00:05:06.440 That is exactly what we're doing as we reach out across party lines
00:05:10.480 to work together on the things where we agree,
00:05:13.540 and there will be plenty of room for robust, informed debate
00:05:17.420 in the areas we disagree.
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.
00:05:24.100 Thank you very much sir.
00:05:24.960 Thank you.
