Mr. Speaker, my colleagues and I just came back from a great weekend in Montreal. More than 2,000 NDP delegates gathered at the largest convention in our history. The NDP caucus is proud of the participation of all the delegates.
We stressed that, unlike the Conservatives, we want to help all Canadian families, improve the EI system, protect our environment, put an end to attacks on workers, provide better health care to our veterans and build a fairer, greener and more prosperous Canada.
After an unequivocal vote of confidence for our leader and his compelling speech, Canadians know that he has all the required experience and skills to become the next prime minister of Canada.
The hope and optimism so dear to Jack were very much in evidence at the convention all weekend long.
With an experienced and proven leader, a united and diverse caucus, and thousands of supporters ready to work for change, we are ready to replace the Conservatives in 2015.
