Discussion · Government Orders
Caroline Desrochers Liberal
“The Conservatives waste their debate time using slogans and attacking everything the government does instead of having real discussions. Today they argued about the name of our wealth fund instead of talking about how it will help Canadians. They do not have a plan of their own.”
“Madam Speaker, what I find really unfortunate is that the official opposition has about 15 days a year to bring intelligent debate to the House. On top of that, they have about 45 minutes a day to hold the government to account. However, instead of engaging in real debates and real discussions, they spend their time reciting slogans and criticizing everything the government does. Today, we spent the day arguing about the name of a sovereign wealth fund when, in fact, the purpose of this fund is to build Canada strong, and that is what Canadians need right now. On this side of the House, we are responsible, we are ambitious and we continue to deliver for Canadians. We are capable of imagining the future and we are not afraid to make the necessary decisions. Do the Conservatives have a plan or an alternative? I have not heard them talk about that.”
