I've established a party that is well financed, that is paying its own bills, that has been running in the black. And we can afford to pay for our own partisan activities.
This government has lost the moral authority to run this country because it has been named in a judicial inquiry on corruption.
We know we've run a good campaign. We've run the campaign we wanted to run and got our message out.
I think one of the difficulties here is that the Liberal Party has been so badly run and has relied so long on taxpayers' money to supplement its activities that I don't think the Liberal Party has been able to pay for polling, to pay for these other things.
The Liberals, apparently, want to prorogue the House. They want to run out of town, get out of town just one step ahead of the sheriff. Is the Liberal government committed to staying here as planned throughout the month of November so that it can be held accountable in the House for its actions?... Now is it true that the government will prorogue the House so that it will not be held accountable for its shameful record
We're not going to scrap the budget and make up some totally new platform the day after the election. So it's certainly willingness to compromise but we're not going back on the fundamental things we're running on in this campaign.
I know economists will say well, we could run a small deficit but the problem is that once you cross that line as we see in the United States, nothing stops deficits from getting larger and larger and spiralling out of control.
I'm sure he'll do us proud over there.
I'm really looking for a clear signal that in fact he wants to defeat the government,
The biggest thing I want to do on foreign policy is to increase Canada's foreign policy capacities, whether they be in foreign aid, or military capacity or disaster assistance. We want Canada to be able to do more.
Strong Canada-U.S. relations are a priority for my government.
That is not value for money and it has to stop.
That is the allegation that is beyond the pale in this campaign.
That is what has been blurred, ... Frankly, if the Government of Canada would sue the Liberal party, it would provide a wake-up call forever that that is not the same thing.
