The leader of the NDP continues to keep a prime minister in power who has doubled the cost of housing, doubled rent, and created record-high usage of food banks and record-high increases in child poverty.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8777524\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Why have we not had an election? It is because the <a data-HoCid=\"278714\" href=\"/politicians/jagmeet-singh/\" title=\"Jagmeet Singh\">leader of the NDP</a> continues to keep the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> in power. He told Canadians he was ripping up the supply and confidence agreement, yet here we are again. Members do not need to take my word for it. I will quote the leader of the NDP. Here are his exact words: \u201cThe fact is, the Liberals are too weak, too selfish and too beholden to corporate interests to fight for people\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8777525\" data-originallang=\"en\"> There is only one person responsible for keeping the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> in power despite the genuine suffering and misery of Canadians, and that is the <a data-HoCid=\"278714\" href=\"/politicians/jagmeet-singh/\" title=\"Jagmeet Singh\">leader of the NDP</a>.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8777523\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, alors que le <a data-HoCid=\"278714\" href=\"/politicians/jagmeet-singh/\" title=\"Jagmeet Singh\">chef du NPD</a> recevra sa pension \u00e0 2,2 millions de dollars, les Canadiens, eux, recevront la facture et la mis\u00e8re qui vient avec. Le chef du NPD continue de maintenir au pouvoir un premier ministre qui a fait doubler le co\u00fbt du logement et les loyers, provoqu\u00e9 une fr\u00e9quentation record des banques alimentaires et entra\u00een\u00e9 une augmentation sans pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent de la pauvret\u00e9 chez les enfants.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8777524\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Pourquoi n'y a-t-il pas encore eu d'\u00e9lections? C'est parce que le <a data-HoCid=\"278714\" href=\"/politicians/jagmeet-singh/\" title=\"Jagmeet Singh\">chef du NPD</a> continue de maintenir le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> au pouvoir. Il a dit aux Canadiens qu'il d\u00e9chirait l'entente de soutien et de confiance, mais nous revoil\u00e0 dans la m\u00eame situation. Les d\u00e9put\u00e9s n'ont pas besoin de me croire sur parole. Je vais citer le chef du NPD. Voici ses paroles exactes: \u00ab Les lib\u00e9raux sont trop faibles, trop \u00e9go\u00efstes et trop redevables aux int\u00e9r\u00eats des grandes entreprises pour se battre pour les gens. \u00bb</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8777525\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Si le <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">premier ministre</a> est encore au pouvoir malgr\u00e9 la r\u00e9elle souffrance et la mis\u00e8re des Canadiens, c'est uniquement la faute du <a data-HoCid=\"278714\" href=\"/politicians/jagmeet-singh/\" title=\"Jagmeet Singh\">chef du NPD</a>.</p>"
