Mr. Speaker, here is what this is really about. The Conservatives do not oppose speaking to the U.S. media, even though they are not very good at it. What they oppose is the positive message I delivered on television about Syrian refugees, and to the LA Times about reducing income equality.
The LA Times called our new government's approach thoughtful, measured, and one that Americans should emulate.
The Conservative failure to show leadership on these issues is why Canadians rejected their government last fall.
