The Prime Minister, in a speech tonight at a BBQ in Québec lays down his most explicit challenge yet to the Leader of the Official Opposition:
FRIENDS, I SEE MR. DION IS CHALLENGING ME TO DEBATE HIS CARBON TAX.
SI M. DION VEUT UN VRAI DÉBAT,
– PAS SEULEMENT PARMI LES POLITICIENS, MAIS UN DÉBAT OUVERT À TOUS,
– TOUT CE QU’IL A À FAIRE EST DE RÉALISER SA TOUTE DERNIÈRE MENACE DE DÉCLENCHER DES ÉLECTIONS.UNE FOIS DE PLUS, M. DION MENACE DE FAIRE TOMBER LE GOUVERNEMENT.
MAIS NOUS ENTENDONS CETTE CHANSON DEPUIS BIENTÔT DEUX ANS.
FOR TWO YEARS, MR. DION HAS BEEN THREATENING TO BRING DOWN THE GOVERNMENT.
AND HE DOES EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO SLOW THE BUSINESS OF PARLIAMENT – OBSTRUCTION AFTER OBSTRUCTION, DELAY AFTER DELAY.
BUT – WHEN THE TIME COMES TO STAND AND BE COUNTED – HE ALWAYS BACKS DOWN.
CANADIANS DESERVE TO HAVE A PARLIAMENT THAT WORKS.
THEY WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO KEEP GOVERNING,
TO ADDRESS ISSUES THAT MATTER TO THEM,
TO KEEP THE COUNTRY MOVING FORWARD.SO MR. DION MUST DECIDE TO FISH OR CUT BAIT.
EITHER LET THE CURRENT PARLIAMENT WORK AND LET US GET ON WITH OUR MANDATE
– OR THE VOTERS THEMSELVES WILL DECIDE.
