We have in office a corrupt party which now is ignoring the democratically expressed will of the House of Commons. This government does not have the moral authority and the constitutional authority to govern.
That is how I want my time in public office to be. I'm here to do a job. I'm not here to join a club. I'm not here to buy into a lifestyle.
This election is about choice: A government plagued by scandal, that is only in it for what it can take, or our new team, who want in to public office for what it can give.
After 17 months in office the record of this government ? or I should say in many instances its lack of record ? has become unacceptable to a large majority of members of the House representing on overwhelming majority of Canadian voters,
I can assure the Canadian public that the Conservative Party, having been out of office for most of the last 100 years, doesn't think it has a divine right to rule, and we're certainly going to listen to what other parties have to say.
I am waiting to hear somebody in the Prime Minister's Office put out some information that is contrary to what we're reading in the papers now,
It`s all part of the pattern. This is a story of scandal and corruption, investigations, refusals to take responsibility. If this government continues in office, this will continue.
When Paul Martin comes after us, as he will - when he comes after me, as he's already planning - take that as proof we are on the right track,
Why is the government not suing the Liberal party to recover the money that was lost or stolen?
What really needs to happen is this culture of waste and mismanagement and corruption that the Liberal Party practices must end,
Even the United States, an allied government, is currently making incursions into our territorial waters without even notifying us, let alone seeking permission.
The government will join, notwithstanding its failure to prepare, its neglect in co-operating with its allies, or its inability to contribute. In the end it will join out of the necessity created by a pattern of uncertainty and indecision. It will not join as a leader but unnoticed at the back of the parade.
You can't come to Toronto without talking about new Canadians. New Canadians are hardworking. They pay their taxes. They play by the rules.
We will improve Canadians' faith in our public institutions by making government more accountable and effective.
