Madam Speaker, this is a wonderful thing about the official opposition, is actually our leader gives us, shadow ministers and women, the agency to act on our own, to respond on our own. He does not throw us under the bus and we do not have to consult with him on every single decision. He trusts us. He allows us to speak for ourselves, to think for ourselves and to act for ourselves. I will leave it there. I guess the last thing I will say is that it breaks my heart to see public servants, contractors, anyone who needs to be thrown under the bus will be thrown under the bus by this government. As for me, and I am looking at three female shadow ministers around me, we have voices and we have agency as members of the official opposition.
In the House of Commons on October 3rd, 2024. See this statement in context.
