Mr. Speaker, let me give the House another quotation, for the record. It says:
Ironically, the Bloc and Liberal opposition, while simultaneously decrying the government's continued partisanship, have rejected Mr. Latulippe's appointment on almost purely political grounds...While I don't share Mr. Latulippe's political orientation, I don't believe that stated political views and career path are reasons to question a person's capacity to act in a principled manner.
Who said that? Former NDP strategist Brian Topp in The Globe and Mail.
