The Conservative Members of Parliament representing Hastings Lennox and Addington and the Bay of Quinte both issued opinions Wednesday on the cancellation of the Liberal-NDP Confidence and Supply Agreement.
In a statement, Shelby Kramp-Neuman said functionally nothing has changed and that it is shocking and insulting to Canadians for the NDP to now, as a result of abysmal polling numbers, turn around and try to absolve themselves of the very real role they played in their agreement with the Liberals.
On social media site X, Ryan Williams said, “Nobody believes anything will change,” and called it a clear choice in the next election: the NDP Liberal failed experiment or a Conservative alternative.
Read Kramp-Neuman’s full statement below:
“Functionally, nothing has changed. My Conservative colleagues and I are the only party that has been cautioning against the Liberal governments irresponsible governance and economic mismanagement from the start. We are the only party that has stood firm against every single Liberal policy that the NDP are now admitting is harming Canadians.”
“What Jagmeet Singh and his NDP caucus seem to be forgetting is that they voted for every single one of those policies as a part of their confidence and supply agreement by approving various budgets and fall economic statements. It is shocking and quite frankly insulting to Canadians for them to now, as a result of abysmal polling numbers, turn around and try to absolve themselves of the very real role they played in their agreement with the Liberals. As the late, great, Brian Mulroney once famously said; “You had an option, sir — to say ‘no’ — and you chose to say ‘yes’ to the old attitudes and the old stories of the Liberal Party. That sir, if I may say respectfully, that is not good enough for Canadians.”
