Coalition

June 19, 2009

Mr. Richard Harris (Cariboo-Prince George, CPC): Mr. Speaker, I listened to the NDp member’s speech and there are so many inconsistencies that I do not have time to dwell on all of them. However, I have to point out the hypocrisy of her statements about the actions of the Prime Minister and the government during the grand coalition effort in the last year.

The Prime Minister of course was trying to protect the Canadian people from a coalition, the likes of which would only be conceived in the pits of Hades.

She talks about wanting to keep jobs. The leader of the NDP saw his one chance to become somebody in the House, the leader of the Bloc was smiling in the middle like a cat who just swallowed a canary because he was going to have some power to control Canada and the Liberal leader had not quite clued into the fact that he had been sorely taken advantage of by the NDP leader, who was bouncing around like a jumping jack, and the Bloc leader, who saw his big chance to control the country.

This is what the Conservative Prime Minister was trying to protect Canadians from. He effectively did that and Canadians are far better off for it.
