I want to underscore something: Mr. Morneau resigned on August 17 and Parliament was prorogued on August 18. Clearly, the decision wasn't motivated by the health or economic crisis. The purpose was simply to protect the Prime Minister's interests. Given what you've both told us, I am more convinced than ever.
I have a comment. As the House leader of the Bloc Québécois, I have been in regular contact with the government House Leader and the leaders of the other parties since March. All spring and summer long, we kept in contact to make the government's measures better, to build the plane as we were flying it, as Mr. Taillon put it. We set aside our political views and historical differences to work together so we could make people's lives better. Unfortunately, that's not what the Liberal Party did on August 18. It's shameful, if you ask me.
Now I'd like to revisit Mr. Trudeau's address the day the House returned.
