00:00:05.980 and that you fight the drug overdose crisis by legalizing hard drugs.
00:00:10.700 So at least they're consistent in their irrationality, Mr. Speaker.
00:00:14.900 But now they've been forced to backtrack right before the election on their legalization of hard drugs

00:00:25.480 Today we have a motion that will be voted in the House to permanently ban hard drugs.
00:00:31.400 Will this government vote for that motion, or will they admit that they plan to legalize drugs again after the next election?

00:01:14.840 Order.

00:01:42.040 She has 25 seconds left on the clock for her answer.
00:01:47.040 The fact is, Mr. Speaker, the Conservative leader is phony all the way through.
00:01:55.200 He is phony when it comes to his concern about the economy.
00:01:59.580 All he can do is talk our country down.
