Roméo LeBlanc, the Governor General. That position is considered by most as the highest plum on the plum tree. Whether or not his skills and abilities fit the job, I am not really sure what his skills and abilities are.
I will say right now I am not in favour of having a Governor General position in this country, nor am I in favour of Lieutenant Governor positions in this country. That is why I was not at the session today nor the party tonight. Whether or not the individual has the qualifications it is just tradition.
I was asked today why I was not there. I said that I really did not intend to think like these traditional good old boys here. Maybe we should be questioning whether there should be a governor general or a lieutenant governor. The individual I was talking to said that is tradition. I told him that is what is wrong here. What is wrong with questioning this good old tradition? What is wrong with questioning the fact that this government wants 50 per cent or more of the Senate to be Liberals?
