In what’s shaping up to be a systematic assault on the NDP’s new shadow cabinet, the Conservative Party has now zeroed in on Mulcair’s critic for Canada-U.S. border issues and the Ontario-Quebec Continental Gateway.
“Mr. Masse recently endorsed a proposal calling for a taxpayer-funded, government-owned car manufacturing company that would compete with private sector, taxpaying companies that employ thousands upon thousand of Canadians – putting their jobs at risk and setting up taxpayers for a massive failure,” says the latest statement issued by party spokesman Fred DeLorey.
“In responding to a call from the Canadian Autoworkers Union to end job-creating free trade talks and create a risky car-making Crown corporation, Mr. Masse’s response (to the Windsor Star) was ‘we’re supporting the entire initiative.’”
The Tories call Masse’s position a “hint as to the kind of dangerous economic experiments that would entice an NDP government.
“These are policies that would hurt everyday Canadian families and waste large amounts of taxpayers’ dollars,” they say.
