Mr. Speaker, we continue to see unbelievable hypocrisy from the leader of the NDP. Yet again, he is pretending to be outraged by the actions of his Liberal coalition partner while expecting Canadians to ignore the fact that he is the Prime Minister's chief enabler. The NDP say they are angered by the waste and corruption behind the “arrive scam” app, yet it would never have happened without their support. The Prime Minister needed his coalition cohort to have enough votes to get the money through Parliament. The leader of the NDP was more than happy to vote yes, at least eight times, to give tens of millions for cost overruns and money-for-nothing contracts to shell companies. Clearly this NDP-Liberal Prime Minister is not worth the cost, crime or corruption. The disregard for taxpayer money is appallingly consistent, and the leader of the NDP should be ashamed for not admitting his role in this boondoggle and apologize to Canadians for grandstanding on social media.

Mr. Speaker, we would say that they are acting hypocritically. The Conservative Party says it has principles, and if we do not like them, it has other principles. In the 2021 Conservative platform, on which every one of those members of Parliament was elected, the platform said: We recognize that the most efficient way to reduce our emissions is to use pricing mechanisms. The Conservatives' position is not only devoid of facts, but their position is the height of hypocrisy. How can Canadians believe anything these folks say?
