Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate my colleague on his new role and the new responsibility that he gets to bear.
It is quite interesting, actually. We know that the NDP has voted confidence in the Liberal government, not sometimes but literally all the time. We do know that right before the Elmwood—Transcona by-election, the leader of the NDP ripped up the supply and confidence agreement. We know that it was a big drama production and a show.
In her letter that was released today, the former finance minister said, referring to Canadians, “They know when we are working for them, and they equally know when we are focused on ourselves. Inevitably, our time in government will come to an end.” What is so shocking about that is that the New Democrat not get it. They keep having confidence in the Prime Minister, when the former deputy prime minister does not even have confidence in him. I do not get it.
