Madam Speaker, Positioning · 25 words the Conservative position is that we want to give first nations and all Canadians a government that is truthful and delivers on what it says. Positioning Partly on point Vague promise Claims · 26 words Regarding major projects, there was an announcement yesterday by a first nation that it had asked for a review on the latest announcement regarding a pipeline.1 Positioning · 85 words I do not blame that first nation, but what this really says to me is that the Liberals’ record on rhetoric, on promises they cannot keep and on photo op announcements that have no substance beyond them is really catching up to them, and it is dividing this country. Conservatives do not believe in that. We believe in an honest, straightforward conversation. We believe we should disagree when we have to and show respect. Off point The Liberal government is really setting reconciliation back now many years. Positioning Partly on point
