Newly minted Opposition leader Thomas Mulcair wasted no time in attacking the government on its economic record on Monday, less than two days after he won the NDP's leadership race.

On his first question in Parliament, Mulcair made good on his fiery political reputation and accused the government of mishandling the economy while doing nothing to address unemployment and a shrinking manufacturing sector.

"Thousands of families are in distress, why are they doing nothing?" said Mulcair, who opened his questioning in French.

The Quebec MP also slammed the government on the recent closure of the Electro-Motive plant in Ontario, which Prime Minister Stephen Harper visited for a photo-op in 2008.

The timing for Mulcair's recent victory is key, as it gives the NDP leader an opportunity to scrutinize the government's 2012 federal budget, which is due Thursday and arrives amid a sputtering economic landscape.

Referring to high unemployment among youth, Mulcair asked: "Will the Conservatives take advantage of the budget to give jobs and hope to our young people?"

While it was Heritage Minister James Moore who was under attack from Mulcair, perhaps the most interesting responses came not from the government, but from Bob Rae, the interim Liberal leader.

While Rae's party placed third in last year's federal election, Rae has done his best to seize the leadership vacuum left by the death of Jack Layton last August. And with former NDP interim leader Nycole Turmel's broken English limiting her efficacy, Rae had won much praise for his boisterous performances of late.
