NDP-Liberal Accord Is Against Interests Of Canadians says Candice Bergen

Ottawa:  Candice Bergen, Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada and the Official Opposition, has blasted what she called the Liberal government’s uncontrolled spending and irresponsible politics that have resulted in an inflation driven cost-of-living crisis. 

“Rapidly rising prices are making it more expensive for Canadians to live their everyday lives. Moreover, out-of-date COVID-19 restrictions are preventing life in Canada from going back to normal,” she told members of the ethno-cuturaal media during a pan-Canada virtual conference on  Monday.

With gas prices at record-highs and food prices going up 9.7 per cent in just the last year – the largest increase in over 40 years – MP. Bergen said her Party proposed solutions like resolving supply chain issues, hiking oil and gas output, and suspending the carbon tax to bring down gas and food prices but the Liberals voted against them.

Bergen added that the recent NDP-Liberal agreement works against the interests and well-being of suffering Canadians, noting that one of their first acts was to vote in favour of Government Motion 11 to give the Liberals the power to adjourn the House at any time and shut down Parliament until September to avoid accountability for the cost-of-living crisis, soaring inflation or any of PM Justin Trudeau’s  multiple ethical scandals. With the crime rate rising steadily since the Liberals were elected in 2015, MP Bergen remarked that stronger laws need to be enforced to ensure that victims are protected and violent criminals serve mandatory prison time.

“With Bill C-5, the Liberals are taking away mandatory jail time for violent crime and allowing those criminals to serve under house arrest in our communities. This proves that the Liberals only talk big about fighting crime but go soft on real criminals and weaken the laws when it comes to making our communities safer.”

In an answer to a question put by The Weekly Voice, Ms. Bergen condemned the Liberal government for its incompetence and refusal to address the two-month long chaos at airports by dropping the COVID-19 restrictions as advised by industry experts like IATA, pointing out that even the European Union, United Kingdom and the United States had removed all such restrictions.

This was her first ethnocultural press conference as Leader of the Conservative Party and MP Bergen also discussed the need to offer more support to Ukraine in their conflict against Russia, develop Canada’s energy sector, resolve immigration backlogs, and for the Party to build stronger relations with ethnic communities in Canada.

Bergen concluded the press conferenceby commending ethnic media outlets in Canada for their selfless work in representing minority and diaspora communities across the country, and for ensuring that everyone has access to key information and breaking news.
