The purpose of the bill is to take action against these crimes and to ensure that all Canadians are protected from such violence. The Canadian Jewish Congress, for instance, is in great support of this legislation. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605270\" data-originallang=\"en\">I hope the bill will enjoy the support of my colleagues, as it does by my seconder, who I thank dearly, my colleague from <a data-HoCid=\"128792\" href=\"/politicians/judy-foote/\" title=\"Judy Foote\">Random\u2014Burin\u2014St. George's</a>.</p>\n<p class=\"procedural\" data-HoCid=\"2\"> (Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed) </p>",

I listened to what people had to say, and I decided to take action.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605274\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I decided to take action because of the shameless price-gouging by the big oil companies that affects us all.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605275\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Quebeckers recently found out that a large group of retailers was conspiring to fix gas prices on the south shore of the St. Lawrence. The investigation was conducted in response to complaints submitted to the Competition Tribunal.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605276\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Across Quebec, people found it highly suspicious that the price of gas at every retailer fluctuated in such a coordinated fashion just before long weekends and summer holidays.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605277\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Last week, CAA confirmed that gasoline retailers have a huge profit margin.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605278\" data-originallang=\"fr\">All this time, people have been held hostage. The bill I am introducing today will give the Competition Bureau true investigative powers.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605279\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Once my bill has made it through the approval process in the House, the Competition Bureau will be able to undertake its own investigations and hit oil companies where it counts, in their pockets.</p>\n<p class=\"procedural\" data-HoCid=\"4\">(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)</p>",

Cette enqu\u00eate a fait suite \u00e0 des plaintes port\u00e9es au Tribunal de la concurrence. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605276\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Or, partout au Qu\u00e9bec, des citoyens trouvent extr\u00eamement louche que le prix de l'essence fluctue de mani\u00e8re coordonn\u00e9e entre tous les d\u00e9taillants d'essence \u00e0 l'approche d'un cong\u00e9 f\u00e9ri\u00e9 ou des vacances estivales.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605277\" data-originallang=\"fr\">La semaine derni\u00e8re, le CAA affirmait que les d\u00e9taillants d'essence r\u00e9alisaient de marges de profit hors du commun.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605278\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Pendant ce temps, les citoyens sont pris en otage.

It is an incredible travesty and is hurting businesses and essential services throughout the region. It must be reversed. Canada Post works on behalf of all Canadians wherever they might live.

This is a serious step and we owe an explanation both to this House and to the Canadian people of our grounds for doing so.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605302\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We have lost confidence in this government. We are standing up for those who have been abandoned by this government. I will try to provide some concrete reasons why we will no longer support this government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605303\" data-originallang=\"en\">First, the Conservatives have lost control of the public finances of our country. A year ago they were at the edge of deficit and by February they were at a deficit of $32 billion. Suddenly, four or five weeks later, it is at $50 billion. At the end of the summer they announced that the deficit was at $56 billion. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605304\" data-originallang=\"en\">Who in the House can actually believe this figure will not climb somewhere near $60 billion by Christmas? This is a terrible record of failure and someone must stand up in the House and call it what it is: abject failure on the public finance management of this country. They have no plan to get us out. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605305\" data-originallang=\"en\">All Canadians must understand that this deficit will hang around the necks of Canadians like a stone. It jeopardizes our capacity to provide adequate health care for Canadians in the future. It jeopardizes our capacity to help seniors and guarantee a secure retirement for our fellow citizens. It jeopardizes our capacity to help the unemployed. That is the first reason we cannot have confidence in the government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605306\" data-originallang=\"en\">The second reason is a question we need to ask ourselves. We have a $56 billion deficit and what do we get for it? Do we have some grand new project that renews the infrastructure of our country, makes us stronger and makes us more united? What we have instead is a reward program for the Conservative Party of Canada. Conservative ridings have benefited disproportionately from this stimulus expenditure and we have the figures to prove it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605307\" data-originallang=\"en\">Then there is the issue of actually getting the money out the door. We have seen the press releases and have heard the announcement that 90% has been committed but when we actually look at the stimulus funding that we can see on the ground, 12% has gone out the door. I was at a soy bean field in Burlington. The Conservatives wish us to believe that it is a car park. I am here to tell everyone that it is still a soy bean field.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605308\" data-originallang=\"en\">There is worse than that. The government has used taxpayer money and spent six times more promoting its own inaction plan than it has to promote the public health of Canadians and warn them about the dangers of H1N1.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605309\" data-originallang=\"en\">That brings me to the third issue, which is the protection of the public health of Canadians. With H1N1, every Canadian can see on television that in other countries people are already being vaccinated. We are still waiting for a plan. We are still waiting for the vaccine. It is the government's responsibility and it has not stepped up.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605310\" data-originallang=\"en\">If people were to go to aboriginal communities and talk to the chiefs, as I did yesterday, they listen with disbelief as the <a data-HoCid=\"128707\" href=\"/politicians/leona-aglukkaq/\" title=\"Leona Aglukkaq\">health minister</a> tells them that 90% of them are ready for the H1N1 epidemic. They know perfectly well that their nursing stations are not ready. What did they get from the government? They got body bags.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605311\" data-originallang=\"en\">We are not finished. Across the country, cancer and heart patients are waiting for nuclear medicine and diagnostics because twice on the government's watch over four years it has failed to supply an adequate amount of nuclear isotopes for the Canadian medical profession. This record of failure is just not good enough.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605312\" data-originallang=\"en\">As if that was not enough, when the Canadian health system is under constant relentless attack from our ideological friends south of the border, what do we hear from the other side of the House? There is total deafening silence. That is public health. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605313\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let us look at what Conservatives have done in respect of Canadian technologies and jobs. The government has been in office for nearly four years and the litany of great Canadian companies that have gone under, been bought or been traded away is getting longer and longer: Nortel, Inco, Falconbridge, Stelco and Alcan. There has been no attempt to defend Canadian jobs and Canadian technologies. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605314\" data-originallang=\"en\">We are now in the absurd situation of having a technological hub, which is a world leader in the Kitchener\u2014Waterloo area, sitting there watching while Canadian patents and technologies developed at home are sold to their competitors. How are we to create the jobs of tomorrow unless we have a government that stands up for Canadian technology today?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605315\" data-originallang=\"en\">We welcome public investment but we want transparent public reviews so Canadian workers and employers can know exactly what undertakings foreign companies give when they come to this country, so that we actually do have net benefit for this country.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605316\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let me move to another area where the government has failed Canadians. It has failed to protect Canadians abroad. For those named Suaad Mohamud or Abdelrazik, it turns out that their passport is not worth what they think it is worth. They cannot count on the protection of the Canadian government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605317\" data-originallang=\"en\">This side of the House says very clearly, so all Canadians can understand, a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605318\" data-originallang=\"en\">Speaking of Canada overseas, the government, over four long years, has steadily diminished Canada's influence and weight overseas. Who in the world can take us seriously as a partner in climate change? We were missing in action at Bali, and we will be missing in action in Copenhagen if the government survives.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605319\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Who will actually listen to Canada on the climate change issue? We have had three ministers of the environment, three plans and no action. We have lost all credibility on this issue in the international arena. Who would vote for Canada?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605320\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Who would vote for Canada in the Security Council? We have held a seat there almost every decade since the founding of the institution. Who would vote for Canada in the Security Council when the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> of Canada cannot even bother to show up at the UN General Assembly?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605321\" data-originallang=\"en\">Who in China or India will take seriously Canadian entrepreneurship, Canadian technology, Canadian products if the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> of Canada cannot even bother to show up to lead trade missions to open those markets to our Canadian entrepreneurs?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605322\" data-originallang=\"en\">These are the kinds of failings that have made us, week after week, month after month, not just over the last year but over four long years, come to the conclusion that we cannot continue to support the government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605323\" data-originallang=\"en\">Is this a pattern of incompetence or is this a pattern of malice? It is a little of both but there is something else going on that needs to be called by its proper name. There is a deeper design here, a design to permanently weaken the capacity of the federal Government of Canada to help Canadians.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605324\" data-originallang=\"en\">There is, on the opposite side of the House, what could be called the starve-the-beast ideology. We know where that ideology comes from but it is not suited to Canada. It will weaken and eventually it could change Canada beyond recognition.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605325\" data-originallang=\"en\"> This party stands against that ideology all the way down. We stand against it because we believe profoundly that if this ideology prevails in this country, it will permanently weaken the tissues that bind our society together, the health care system of which we are so proud, the care for the aged which distinguishes us as a civilized society, and the capacity of our society to provide security in retirement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605326\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The government works on one plan and one plan only, starve the beast, lower expectations of government so far until Canadians cease to have any expectations of the federal government whatsoever. This is an unworthy way to govern this country, and we stand against it.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605327\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Canadians are not looking for a centralizing government. This party has a vision of a government that works with others; a government that reflects real Canadian values like helping others, and not every person for themselves; values like compassion and competence. Canadians are looking for a government that understands words like compromise, collaboration, compassion and respect. We are waiting in vain for a government that embodies these values. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605328\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is not just the Conservatives' ideology. It is not just their policies. It is the way they conduct politics in this country, what they have done to our politics. All adversaries are enemies. We cannot run Canada that way. This is not a country that we can divide in that way.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605329\" data-originallang=\"en\">All adversaries are enemies; all methods are fair; and all public money is available for partisan purposes. This is unworthy of the political traditions of this country.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605330\" data-originallang=\"en\">When we have a little private moment among our friends at a fundraiser in Sault Ste. Marie, the real story comes out, which is that we want an election so that we can teach Canadians a lesson. That is not how I understand democracy. That is not how this party understands democracy. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605331\" data-originallang=\"en\">We actually receive lessons from the public. We do not give them to the public. We do not use an election to teach left-wing judges a lesson. We do not use elections to teach women who help other women through the cycle of domestic abuse a lesson. We want to use elections to bring Canadians together, to rouse them to a higher purpose.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605332\" data-originallang=\"en\">This kind of approach to politics will weaken and divide our country. It goes beyond that. There is a cynicism about politics which they cultivate through the ways in which they neglect and ignore their own promises. There is an indifference to their own promises, which is astounding.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605333\" data-originallang=\"en\">The <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> of Canada lives in an eternal present where he cannot remember what he promised to Canadians the day before and cannot remember what he will promise the day after. Income trusts: \u201cI can't remember I ever made that promise\u201d. Appointment of senators: \u201cI can't remember I ever promised to reform the institution\u201d. He cannot remember that he promised there would be no tax increases.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605334\" data-originallang=\"en\">This party has discovered upon looking closely that the Conservatives have hidden a payroll tax of $13 billion in the weeds, and they do not have the guts to stand up and tell Canadians that is what they are doing.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605335\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We deserve better. We deserve a compassionate, creative, collaborative government that unites Canadians; one that does not divide them. A government that invites Quebeckers and francophones from across the country to be part of the process; a government that will govern instead of dividing Canadians with partisan games. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605336\" data-originallang=\"en\">We are looking for a government that believes in telling Canadians the truth, a government that believes that growth does not just happen with a market miracle. It requires the focused strategic guidance of a compassionate and creative government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605337\" data-originallang=\"en\">We believe we are looking for a government that actually thinks it can be a leader, not a follower, in the great drama, the great challenge of global climate change. We are looking for a government that believes in the compassion and creativity of Canadians and wants to stand with them, not against them, and build a great country together. We do not have this government now and we cannot pretend any longer that we do.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605338\" data-originallang=\"en\">Therefore we will stand up in the House and we will support the Canadians who have been abandoned by the government. We will do our job even if it does not.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1605299\" data-originallang=\"en\"> propose:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"1605300\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Que la Chambre a perdu confiance dans le gouvernement. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"1605301\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je prends la parole aujourd'hui pour annoncer formellement que l'opposition officielle a perdu confiance dans le gouvernement. C'est une d\u00e9cision s\u00e9rieuse et nous nous devons d'expliquer \u00e0 la Chambre et aux Canadiens les motifs qui nous poussent \u00e0 agir ainsi. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605302\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Nous avons perdu confiance en ce gouvernement. Nous nous mettons debout pour prot\u00e9ger les gens qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 abandonn\u00e9s par ce gouvernement. Je vais essayer de donner des raisons concr\u00e8tes pour lesquelles nous allons retirer notre confiance en ce gouvernement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605303\" data-originallang=\"en\">Premi\u00e8rement, les conservateurs ont perdu la ma\u00eetrise des finances publiques de notre pays. Il y a un an, ils \u00e9taient au bord du d\u00e9ficit. En f\u00e9vrier, ils affichaient un d\u00e9ficit de 32 milliards de dollars. Soudainement, quatre ou cinq semaines plus tard, le d\u00e9ficit \u00e9tait de 50 milliards de dollars. Puis, \u00e0 la fin de l'\u00e9t\u00e9, ils annon\u00e7aient que le d\u00e9ficit atteignait 56 milliards de dollars.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605304\" data-originallang=\"en\">Qui \u00e0 la Chambre peut vraiment croire que ce chiffre ne grimpera pas \u00e0 pr\u00e8s de 60 milliards d'ici No\u00ebl? C'est un horrible bilan et quelqu'un \u00e0 la Chambre doit intervenir pour d\u00e9crire la situation telle qu'elle est, c'est-\u00e0-dire une \u00e9chec lamentable sur le plan de la gestion des finances publiques du pays. Et les conservateurs n'ont de plan pour nous en sortir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605305\" data-originallang=\"en\">Tous les Canadiens doivent comprendre qu'ils tra\u00eeneront ce d\u00e9ficit comme un boulet. Il compromet notre capacit\u00e9 de fournir des soins de sant\u00e9 ad\u00e9quats aux Canadiens dans l'avenir. Il compromet notre capacit\u00e9 d'aider les personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es et de garantir une retraite confortable \u00e0 nos concitoyens. Il compromet notre capacit\u00e9 d'aider les ch\u00f4meurs. C'est l\u00e0 la premi\u00e8re raison qui fait que nous ne pouvons plus avoir confiance dans le gouvernement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605306\" data-originallang=\"en\">La deuxi\u00e8me raison, c'est une question que nous devons nous poser. Nous avons un d\u00e9ficit de 56 milliards de dollars, et qu'est-ce que cela nous donne en retour? Avons-nous quelque chose de nouveau, un grand projet visant \u00e0 renouveler les infrastructures de notre pays, \u00e0 nous rendre plus forts et plus unis? Ce que nous avons plut\u00f4t, c'est un programme de r\u00e9compenses pour le Parti conservateur du Canada. Les circonscriptions conservatrices ont b\u00e9n\u00e9fici\u00e9 de fa\u00e7on disproportionn\u00e9e de ces fonds de relance, et nous avons les chiffres pour le prouver.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605307\" data-originallang=\"en\">Puis il y a la question du d\u00e9blocage de ces fonds. Nous avons vu les communiqu\u00e9s de presse et entendu les annonces disant que 90 p. 100 des fonds avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 engag\u00e9s, mais lorsque nous regardons ce qui se passe vraiment sur le terrain, nous constatons que seulement 12 p. 100 des fonds de relance ont bel et bien \u00e9t\u00e9 vers\u00e9s. J'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 dans un champ de soja \u00e0 Burlington. Les conservateurs voudraient nous faire croire qu'il a \u00e9t\u00e9 transform\u00e9 en parc de stationnement, mais je puis assurer \u00e0 tous que c'est encore un champ de soja.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605308\" data-originallang=\"en\">Et il y a pire. Le gouvernement s'est servi de l'argent des contribuables et a d\u00e9pens\u00e9 six fois plus pour faire la promotion de son propre plan d'inaction plut\u00f4t que de s'occuper de la sant\u00e9 publique des Canadiens et de les mettre en garde contre les dangers du virus H1N1. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605309\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'en arrive \u00e0 la troisi\u00e8me raison, \u00e0 savoir la protection de la sant\u00e9 publique des Canadiens. Dans le cas de la grippe H1N1, on voit \u00e0 la t\u00e9l\u00e9vision que, dans d'autres pays, la population se fait d\u00e9j\u00e0 vacciner. Au Canada, nous attendons toujours un plan en ce sens. Nous attendons toujours le vaccin. C'est la responsabilit\u00e9 du gouvernement, mais il n'agit pas.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605310\" data-originallang=\"en\">Si les gens se rendaient dans les collectivit\u00e9s autochtones pour discuter avec les chefs, comme je l'ai fait hier, ils seraient constern\u00e9s d'entendre ce que la <a data-HoCid=\"128707\" href=\"/politicians/leona-aglukkaq/\" title=\"Leona Aglukkaq\">ministre de la Sant\u00e9</a> a d\u00e9clar\u00e9, soit que 90 p. 100 des communaut\u00e9s autochtones sont pr\u00eates \u00e0 faire face \u00e0 l'\u00e9pid\u00e9mie de grippe H1N1. Les autochtones savent tr\u00e8s bien que leurs postes de soins infirmiers ne sont pas pr\u00eats. Qu'ont-ils re\u00e7u du gouvernement? Des housses mortuaires.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605311\" data-originallang=\"en\">Et \u00e7a ne s'arr\u00eate pas l\u00e0. Partout au pays, des patients atteints du cancer et de maladies cardiaques attendent de subir un examen ou un diagnostic de m\u00e9decine nucl\u00e9aire, et ce, parce que le gouvernement, depuis son arriv\u00e9e au pouvoir il y a quatre ans a, deux fois plut\u00f4t qu'une, n\u00e9glig\u00e9 d'assurer un approvisionnement suffisant en isotopes nucl\u00e9aires aux h\u00f4pitaux canadiens. Ce bilan est un \u00e9chec.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605312\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme si ce n'\u00e9tait pas suffisant, alors que le syst\u00e8me de sant\u00e9 canadien fait constamment l'objet de critiques de la part de nos voisins id\u00e9ologues au sud de la fronti\u00e8re, que disent les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de l'autre c\u00f4t\u00e9 de la Chambre? Rien. Ils restent muets comme des carpes. Voil\u00e0 le bilan du gouvernement en sant\u00e9 publique. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605313\" data-originallang=\"en\">Voyons maintenant ce qu'ont fait les conservateurs dans les domaines de la technologie et de l'emploi au Canada. Depuis l'arriv\u00e9e au pouvoir du gouvernement, il y a pr\u00e8s de quatre ans, la liste des grandes soci\u00e9t\u00e9s canadiennes qui ont fait faillite ou encore qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 achet\u00e9s par des int\u00e9r\u00eats \u00e9trangers ou c\u00e9d\u00e9s \u00e0 des \u00e9trangers ne cesse de s'allonger: Nortel, Inco, Falconbridge, Stelco et Alcan. Rien n'a \u00e9t\u00e9 fait pour pr\u00e9server les emplois et la technologie mise au point au pays.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605314\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous nous trouvons maintenant dans une situation absurde o\u00f9 nous avons, dans la r\u00e9gion de Kitchener\u2014Waterloo, un grand p\u00f4le technologique regroupant des entreprises qui font figure de chef de file dans le monde entier, mais qui regardent le train passer parce que des technologies et des brevets canadiens mis au point au pays sont vendus \u00e0 leurs concurrents. Comment allons-nous cr\u00e9er les emplois de demain si le gouvernement ne pr\u00e9serve pas la technologie canadienne aujourd'hui?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605315\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous nous r\u00e9jouissons des investissements publics, mais nous souhaitons qu'il y ait des examens publics transparents pour que les travailleurs et les employeurs canadiens puissent savoir exactement quels engagements les entreprises \u00e9trang\u00e8res prennent lorsqu'elles viennent s'installer au Canada de sorte que nous en retirions des avantages nets.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605316\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je passe \u00e0 un autre secteur o\u00f9 le gouvernement a laiss\u00e9 tomber les Canadiens. Le gouvernement conservateur n'a pas su prot\u00e9ger les Canadiens \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger. Des gens comme Suaad Mohamud et Abdelrazik ont constat\u00e9 que leur passeport n'avait pas la valeur qu'ils lui attribuaient. Ils ne peuvent pas compter sur la protection du gouvernement du Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605317\" data-originallang=\"en\">De ce c\u00f4t\u00e9-ci de la Chambre, nous affirmons qu'un Canadien est un Canadien, un point c'est tout. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605318\" data-originallang=\"en\">Puisque je parle du Canada outre-mer, je pr\u00e9cise que le gouvernement, pendant quatre longues ann\u00e9es, a fait diminuer l'influence et le poids du Canada \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger. Qui, dans le monde, peut nous prendre au s\u00e9rieux comme partenaire dans la lutte contre les changements climatiques? Nous avons \u00e9t\u00e9 plus que discrets \u00e0 Bali et nous serons encore plus que discrets \u00e0 Copenhague, si le gouvernement actuel survit. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605319\" data-originallang=\"en\">Qui voudra bien \u00e9couter la position du Canada sur les changements climatiques? Il y a eu trois ministres de l'Environnement et trois plans, mais rien n'a \u00e9t\u00e9 fait. Nous avons perdu toute cr\u00e9dibilit\u00e9 dans ce domaine sur la sc\u00e8ne internationale. Qui voterait pour le Canada? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605320\" data-originallang=\"en\">Qui voterait pour faire entrer le Canada au Conseil de s\u00e9curit\u00e9? Nous y avons occup\u00e9 une place \u00e0 pratiquement toutes les d\u00e9cennies depuis la fondation de l'institution. Qui voterait pour donner un si\u00e8ge au Canada \u00e0 ce conseil lorsque le <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> du Canada ne se donne m\u00eame pas la peine de se pr\u00e9senter \u00e0 l'Assembl\u00e9e g\u00e9n\u00e9rale de l'ONU?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605321\" data-originallang=\"en\">Qui, en Chine ou en Inde, prendra au s\u00e9rieux l'esprit d'entreprise canadien, la technologie canadienne et les produits canadiens si le <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> du Canada ne se donne m\u00eame pas la peine de diriger des missions commerciales visant \u00e0 ouvrir les march\u00e9s de ces deux pays aux entrepreneurs canadiens?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605322\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce sont l\u00e0 des exemples des d\u00e9faillances qui nous ont amen\u00e9s semaine apr\u00e8s semaine et mois apr\u00e8s mois, pas uniquement au cours de la derni\u00e8re ann\u00e9e, mais depuis quatre longues ann\u00e9es, \u00e0 conclure que nous ne pouvons pas continuer de soutenir le gouvernement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605323\" data-originallang=\"en\">Peut-on parler d'une incomp\u00e9tence manifeste ou de malveillance manifeste? C'est un peu des deux, mais il y a autre chose qu'il faut appeler par son nom. Nous constatons un dessein plus pernicieux et il s'agit d'affaiblir de fa\u00e7on permanente la capacit\u00e9 du gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral d'aider les Canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605324\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il existe chez nos vis-\u00e0-vis, ce que l'on pourrait appeler l'id\u00e9ologie consistant \u00e0 \u00ab affamer la b\u00eate \u00bb. Nous savons d'o\u00f9 provient cette id\u00e9ologie, mais elle ne convient pas au Canada. Elle affaiblira le Canada et pourrait un jour le rendre m\u00e9connaissable.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605325\" data-originallang=\"en\">Notre parti est tout \u00e0 fait contre cette id\u00e9ologie. Et nous sommes contre car nous croyons profond\u00e9ment que si cette id\u00e9ologie l\u2019emporte au pays, elle affaiblira de mani\u00e8re permanente le tissu qui unit notre soci\u00e9t\u00e9 : le syst\u00e8me de sant\u00e9 dont nous sommes si fiers, les services aux personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es qui font de nous une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 civilis\u00e9e, la capacit\u00e9 de notre soci\u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e0 assurer \u00e0 ses citoyens une retraite confortable. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605326\" data-originallang=\"en\">L\u2019actuel gouvernement travaille sur un seul et unique plan. Affamer la b\u00eate et abaisser les attentes envers le gouvernement \u00e0 un tel niveau que les Canadiens arr\u00eateront tout simplement d\u2019avoir des attentes envers leur gouvernement. C\u2019est une mani\u00e8re indigne de gouverner ce pays, et nous sommes contre. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605327\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Les Canadiens ne cherchent pas un gouvernement centralisateur. La vision de ce parti \u00e0 la Chambre est celle d'un gouvernement de coop\u00e9ration, d'un gouvernement qui refl\u00e8te les vraies valeurs des Canadiens comme l'entraide, et non le chacun pour soi, les valeurs de compassion et de comp\u00e9tence. Les Canadiens cherchent un gouvernement qui comprend les mots comme compromis, collaboration, compassion, respect. On attend en vain un gouvernement qui r\u00e9ponde \u00e0 ces valeurs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605328\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce n'est pas uniquement l'id\u00e9ologie des conservateurs et leurs politiques que nous rejetons. C'est la fa\u00e7on dont ils font de la politique au Canada et ce qu'ils ont fait \u00e0 la chose politique. Pour eux, tous les adversaires sont des ennemis. On ne peut pas g\u00e9rer le Canada de cette fa\u00e7on. On ne peut pas diviser notre pays de cette fa\u00e7on. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605329\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pour les conservateurs, tous les adversaires sont des ennemis, tous les moyens sont bons et les fonds publics peuvent servir \u00e0 des fins partisanes. Cette id\u00e9ologie n'est pas digne de la tradition politique canadienne. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605330\" data-originallang=\"en\">Lorsque les conservateurs ont pass\u00e9 un peu de temps en priv\u00e9 avec leurs amis lors d'un \u00e9v\u00e9nement b\u00e9n\u00e9fice \u00e0 Sault Ste. Marie, leur v\u00e9ritable programme a fait surface. Ils veulent d\u00e9clencher des \u00e9lections pour donner une le\u00e7on aux Canadiens. Personnellement, ce n'est pas de cette fa\u00e7on que je con\u00e7ois la d\u00e9mocratie. Ce n'est pas non plus sous cet angle que le Parti lib\u00e9ral envisage la d\u00e9mocratie. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605331\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est la population qui nous donne des le\u00e7ons plut\u00f4t que le contraire. On ne d\u00e9clenche pas des \u00e9lections pour donner une le\u00e7on \u00e0 des juges de gauche. On ne se lance pas dans une campagne \u00e9lectorale pour donner une le\u00e7on aux femmes qui en aident d'autres \u00e0 sortir du cycle de la violence familiale. Le Parti lib\u00e9ral souhaite que les \u00e9lections rapprochent les Canadiens et les am\u00e8nent \u00e0 se d\u00e9passer. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605332\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'approche politique des conservateurs affaiblira et divisera le Canada. Qui plus est, les conservateurs cultivent un certain cynisme au sujet de la politique parce qu'ils font fi de leurs promesses ou n\u00e9gligent d'y donner suite. Ils font preuve d'une indiff\u00e9rence renversante \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard de leurs engagements. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605333\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">premier ministre</a> est fig\u00e9 dans le pr\u00e9sent: il ne se rappelle pas les promesses qu'il a faites aux Canadiens hier et ne se rappelle pas celles qu'il pr\u00e9voit faire demain. \u00c0 propos des fiducies de revenu, il pr\u00e9tend ne pas se rappeler avoir jamais fait cette promesse. \u00c0 propos de la nomination des s\u00e9nateurs, il pr\u00e9tend ne pas se rappeler avoir jamais promis de r\u00e9former cette institution. Il pr\u00e9tend ne pas se rappeler qu'il avait promis que les imp\u00f4ts n'augmenteraient pas.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605334\" data-originallang=\"en\">Notre parti, en examinant les choses de pr\u00e8s, a d\u00e9couvert que les conservateurs avaient cach\u00e9 leur intention d'aller chercher 13 milliards de dollars sous forme de charges sociales. Ils n'ont tout simplement pas le courage de dire aux Canadiens ce qu'ils sont en train de faire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605335\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Nous m\u00e9ritons mieux. Nous m\u00e9ritons un gouvernement de compassion, de cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9, de collaboration, un gouvernement qui unit les Canadiens, qui ne les divise pas, un gouvernement qui invite les Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois et les francophones de tout le pays au pouvoir, un gouvernement qui va gouverner au lieu de diviser les Canadiens avec des jeux partisans. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605336\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous voulons un gouvernement qui croit qu'il faut dire la v\u00e9rit\u00e9 aux Canadiens, un gouvernement qui croit que la croissance n'est pas juste un miracle d\u00fb au march\u00e9. Il faut une orientation strat\u00e9gique bien d\u00e9finie par un gouvernement cr\u00e9atif et prompt \u00e0 la compassion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605337\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous voulons un gouvernement qui pense en fait pouvoir endosser le r\u00f4le de leader, et non \u00eatre \u00e0 la tra\u00eene, dans ce grand drame, ce grand d\u00e9fi que sont les changements climatiques mondiaux. Nous voulons un gouvernement qui croit \u00e0 la compassion et \u00e0 la cr\u00e9ativit\u00e9 des Canadiens, qui se tient \u00e0 leurs c\u00f4t\u00e9s et n'est pas contre eux, pour b\u00e2tir un grand pays, ensemble. Ce n'est pas le gouvernement que nous avons en ce moment et nous ne pouvons pas pr\u00e9tendre plus longtemps le contraire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1605338\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est pourquoi nous allons intervenir \u00e0 la Chambre afin d'appuyer les Canadiens que le gouvernement a abandonn\u00e9s. Nous ferons notre travail m\u00eame si le gouvernement ne fait pas le sien.</p>"
