“The government is failing to do its job, and that makes people want to separate from Canada. To keep the country together, the government must invest in health care, protect pensions, and make sure provinces have the money to provide public services.”
“Mr. Speaker, the federal government is not living up to its obligations, and this is one of the things that are irritants to people across this country. The way we solve issues of separatist sentiment is to make sure the federal government is proving to citizens across this country that there is real value in staying part of our country, by making sure we are investing in the health care system, making sure we are protecting the CPP and making sure that when we give dollars to the provinces, they are able to deliver the services people are entitled to.”
