Mr. Speaker, there is nothing reasonable about violating our constitutional conventions.
Everyone knows that this government lost a confidence vote yesterday evening. An editorial published in today's Le Devoir states, “The federal Liberals lost the confidence of Parliament yesterday evening; there is no other possible interpretation of the vote”. As for La Presse , it states that, “This non-confidence vote clearly shows that this government no longer has the confidence of the House”.
How can this government still deny the obvious and ignore both the democratic will of this House and the Canadian Constitution by remaining in office?
