Mr. Speaker, I love responding to my friend, the deputy House leader for the Liberals. I normally start off by reminding him that the omnibus budget implementation bill that is related to a lot of the debate tonight is something that he used to call an assault on democracy in all those old quotes. However, his speech was so interesting that I am not going to talk about his old chestnuts from when he was in opposition. I am going to compare how he talks about the NDP of Rachel Notley, their ideological friends, as opposed to the NDP's NDP in B.C.
It is interesting to see how far the mighty Liberal Party of Canada has gone on the spectrum. The Liberals are now left. He is admitting it. He was referring to his NDP friend as “Rachel” in the House. I would refer to her as Premier Notley. I think that is the respect she deserves. However, they are so far left, they are now comparing their left allies against the NDP's NDP.
Who are the member's favourite people on the left? Is it his friend Rachel in the NDP in Alberta, or is it the NDP from B.C.?
