Mr. Speaker, we have a situation in which, on the eve of the fall economic statement, the Prime Minister announces privately he is going to deep-six his finance minister. Now she has quit.
We are seeing an ongoing level of the dysfunction and the failure of all political parties to stand up for Canada at a time of uncertainty. We have now seen the Conservatives spend three months filibustering their own motion in order to stop Parliament from working; they do so because they do not care about defending the Canadian people. We have a Prime Minister who is missing in action as his ship is hitting the rocks.
It is really like watching kids in a sandbox throwing sand at each other as the tsunami comes. Everyone is warning that the tsunami is coming, but they would rather throw sand at each other. The world needs to know whether Canada is ready to stand up to Trump. We certainly know that the guy who lives in Stornoway will never show up. The Prime Minister has failed the Canadian people in a significant way today.
