I apologize, Mr. Speaker. A minister of this House made a statement in my riding of Saint John, New Brunswick that unless the people elected a Liberal in every riding in Canada then that riding will not receive any assistance of any kind because it did not elect a Liberal.
That is not how you, Mr. Speaker, see things. That is not how we see things. People elect the person they want to represent them. I was in absolute shock to hear a minister of this House make a statement like that publicly. What does my colleague from Pictou—Antigonish—Guysborough think about that kind of a statement being made?
