\n Tom Parkin: Far from a ‘road map for government’, past throne speeches from the PM have been packed with promises for things that never happ<\/a>ened\n <\/div>\n
\n Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has pitched his upcoming Speech from the Throne as \u201ca road map for our government for the coming years,\u201d political framing that has mostly been uncritically repeated in media<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

But even a quick review of Trudeau\u2019s 2015 Throne Speech or the address his government wrote for the Governor General<\/a> in 2019 provides plenty of evidence as to why they should not be framed this way. Far from being a road map for governing, Trudeau\u2019s actions haven\u2019t fulfilled his Throne Speech words.<\/p>\n

The Liberals\u2019 2015 Throne Speech spoke of a new health accord with the provinces. But when provinces pushed back on the Liberals\u2019 plan to adopt the transfer cuts proposed by the Stephen Harper government, the Liberals walked from the table, then negotiated 10 separate take-it-or-leave-it deals.<\/p>\n

It promised that year\u2019s election would be \u201cthe last federal election conducted under the first-past-the-post voting system.\u201d It pledged to strengthen parliamentary committees\u2014such as those investigating the WE scandal. An end to omnibus bills. And more free votes. None of this happened.<\/p>\n

It pledged to \u201cmake post-secondary education more affordable\u201d but tuition costs have continued to rise. It promised a stronger commitment to peacekeeping, but Canada\u2019s peacekeeping today has fallen to the smallest role in more than 60 years.<\/p>\n

In his 2015 Throne Speech Trudeau promised to strengthen Employment Insurance to help \u201call Canadians who need it.\u201d Didn\u2019t happen. And this year when the pandemic hit and millions lost their jobs, many Canadians had no EI protection, requiring the hastily created CERB.<\/p>\n

In 2015 the Trudeau government pledge to get handguns \u201coff our streets.\u201d It wasn\u2019t done, allowing the 2019 Throne Speech to pledge to give municipalities the power to get handguns off our streets\u2014which also hasn\u2019t been done.<\/p>\n

And with incredible irony, we now have a new 2020 Throne Speech because Trudeau prorogued to avoid scrutiny of the WE scandal\u2014despite a 2015 throne speech promise to \u201cnot resort to devices like prorogation\u2026to avoid scrutiny.\u201d<\/p>\n

Accepting Trudeau\u2019s \u201croad map\u201d framing is selling a falsehood to Canadians\u2014that Trudeau is as good as his word and what is in the Throne Speech will actually happen.<\/p>\n

And what is to happen to the words of the 2019 Throne Speech? Will they be reconfirmed? Or are they abandoned?<\/p>\n

We will need to wait to see if next week Trudeau recommits to his 2019 Throne Speech pledge to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples before December of this year. Whether he will recommit to a 25 per cent cut to cell phone and wireless costs. To his promise of more affordable before- and after-school childcare. To ensuring Canada has no homeless veterans. Stopping his court action against Indigenous children hurt by the government\u2019s discriminatory child welfare system and compensate them. And to implementing pharmacare, the \u201cmissing piece of universal health care in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Next week\u2019s Throne Speech isn\u2019t required to fight a pandemic and recession. It\u2019s required because Justin Trudeau prorogued to shut down committees investigating his WE scandal. That move killed important legislation and delayed the urgent job of putting in place a social safety net for those suddenly without jobs.<\/p>\n

Now Trudeau\u2019s manoeuvre is to dare the opposition to vote non-confidence in his government over the words of his Throne Speech.<\/p>\n

Opposition parties may want to consider that if Canadians have lost confidence in Trudeau it\u2019s not because of a lack of good words. Opposition parties that want to earn the trust of Canadians might be right to let the words pass\u2014then use this minority parliament to press hard to ensure that this time the rubber does indeed hit the road.
