Mr. Speaker, I am more concerned about the political footballs that are being pushed around.
The government has told us that the member for LaSalle—Émard is a mere backbencher. Now he is acting as the intergovernmental affairs minister, setting up his own federal-provincial conferences. He is not a minister, not the prime minister and he should not be doing this.
If this individual wants to act like the prime minister why is he not in the House of Commons answering questions on government business?
