Madam Speaker, my hon. friend's question reminds us of exactly what Canadians chose.
British Columbians chose to elect more members of Parliament on this side of the House than ever before, because they saw a Prime Minister who understood the urgency of working with British Columbia. They saw a Prime Minister who understood the urgency of building things, with the ability, the experience and the know-how to build things and to build them well.
They looked at the choice that was offered to them in the Leader of the Opposition, and they said, “Absolutely not. We will not allow our country to be run on Twitter and on slogans. We want responsible grown-ups. We want people who actually know how to get things done.”
They looked at the track record, experience, integrity and ability to bring people together, and that is what Canadians chose.
