Mr. Speaker, watching the leader of the Conservative Party lose in slow motion today has been a little amusing, but what is more interesting is watching him do it with a big grin on his face, because he is so proud of himself. He is proud to vote against child care; he is proud to vote against school food programs, and he is so proud to vote against affordable housing. What else is he proud of today? He is proud to call climate change just “weather”, and he is proud to refer to indigenous people with a possessive pronoun; they are not ours.
He seems very proud of himself, but do members know what Canadians are proud of? They are proud of our institutions; they are proud of programs that support them, and they are proud of this side, of this government: We are supporting them.
