Mr. Speaker, when one gains power, one has to actually respect the institutions, respect the voice for 338 ridings that was sent to Parliament, allow for real debate, and have ministers who are actually ministers of their department and not just spokespeople as approved by the PMO.
Who said those words? It was the current Prime Minister, speaking to Maclean's in 2014. How things have changed.
Yesterday, the Prime Minister ordered the expulsion of two former ministers, two women who dared to stand up to him.
Is that how the Prime Minister sees power, as a means to banish anyone who disobeys his orders?
