Mr. Speaker, I want to just read a bit from the resignation letter that was put out by the finance minister this morning. It states, “Our country today faces a grave challenge. The incoming administration in the United States is pursuing a policy of aggressive economic nationalism, including a threat of 25 per cent tariffs.”
It also states, “To be effective, a Minister must speak on behalf of the Prime Minister and with his full confidence. In making your decision, you made clear that I no longer credibly enjoy that confidence and possess the authority that comes with it.”
It appears that the former finance minister has lost confidence in the Prime Minister. Why does the NDP continue to support a crumbling government?
