Mr. Speaker, we appreciate the NDP's support on our motion. Will the NDP join us in delivering more than just words and, in fact, deliver action in voting non-confidence if the government allow this merger?

Mr. Speaker, after eight years of the NDP-Liberal government, the financial gap between Americans and Canadians has never been larger. The average GDP per capita in the United States is over $80,000. In Canada, it is merely $50,000. Unbelievably, the situation is getting worse. The growth in the United States was over 5% this year. In Canada, it is shrinking by more than 1%. When will the government finally take responsibility for failing Canadians, and change direction to adopt a common-sense plan led by a common-sense leader? Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Mr. Speaker, the reality is this. The more the government spends, the poorer Canadians get. Over the last eight years, the government has imposed a record tax burden on Canadians, levels of debt and deficit never seen before in our country. The result is the worst per capita growth rate since the Great Depression. There is record food bank usage, with two million Canadians going to a food bank every month. Why are those Liberals so hell-bent to bankrupt Canadians?

Madam Speaker, in my town of Cobourg, we recently had an incident where an individual assaulted a person who had their child there, and the individual was out on bail the same day and committed another crime. It was because of the bail reform that the NDP supported earlier, and now this is going halfway back. Is the member at all regretful for his voting record?
