Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his rant. I have a couple of questions. I am reading the How They Vote Website. I notice the hon. member has more words spoken in the House than the next three members combined. Therefore, I am tempted to ask him if he knows we do not get paid by the word in the House of Commons, but I will not ask him.
Instead, I will ask about a couple of interesting quotes that I read recently. One comes from the Liberal leader. He wrote this in The New York Times magazine. He wrote, “politics is theater. It is part of the job to pretend to have emotions that you do not actually feel”. We have seen that with this opposition day motion and some of the speeches we have heard from the Liberal side today.
Another quote is by the son of a former Liberal prime minister, the member for Papineau who talked about his leader saying:
—he’s a little all over the place sometimes. He says this, he says that — he contradicts himself. For me, he’s not someone with...maybe he has the intelligence, but maybe not the wisdom required.
Maybe this opposition day motion is an example of this. Could the member comment on that?
