Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre thanked everyone for attending the parliamentary session and opened his speech by launching severe criticisms at the Canadian government led by Justin Trudeau, asserting that the country is experiencing a political and economic collapse at the worst possible time.

His remarks came after Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced her surprise resignation, at a time when she was preparing to present the fall economic statement.

Pierre Poilievre pointed out that the resignation came due to Freeland's loss of confidence in Trudeau, which reflects a state of collapse within the government.

He also highlighted the massive deficit of $40 billion, which was expected to exceed that amount considerably in the new statement, threatening social programs and financial stability, especially in light of the threat of a trade war with the United States.

Pierre Poilievre accused Trudeau and his aide Mark Carney of pushing Freeland to increase spending excessively and unsustainably, leading to the surpassing of the financial "barriers" she had set herself.

He also criticized the state of chaos that followed her resignation, as François-Philippe Champagne became Finance Minister by seniority, but he declined to take the position, leading to another minister, Randy Boissoneau, who had previously stirred controversy with false claims about his identity.

Key points addressed in the speech:

1. Growing crises: Pierre Poilievre criticized the chaos in housing, with 1,400 homeless camps in Ontario alone, unchecked immigration, rising crime and gun violence rates, alongside the drug crisis that has taken the lives of 47,000 people since changes in drug laws.

2. Deteriorating economic situation: The national debt has doubled, interest rates have risen, and inflation has worsened, driving an increasing number of Canadians to food banks that are facing severe shortages.

3. Political crises: The resignation of several ministers and Trudeau's loss of confidence from a large part of his party, while the leader of the New Democratic Party, Jagmeet Singh, keeps him in office to preserve his own interests, according to the spokesperson.

The speech conveyed a message to national liberals, urging them to abandon their support for Trudeau and work towards a new government based on financial responsibility and shared values. The speech concluded with a call for elections focused on the carbon tax issue, giving Canadians a voice to determine the country's path during these challenging times.
