Mr. Speaker, this is an historic moment. The Deputy Prime Minister has resigned, saying that she is at odds with the Prime Minister about the best path forward for Canada.
The former deputy prime minister no longer has confidence in this Prime Minister to govern. Her lack of confidence comes in addition to the departure of eight other ministers. The Prime Minister cannot claim to have the public's confidence; he does not even have the confidence of his own ministers.
Will he be democratic enough to put his future in the hands of the public and call an election?
