Mr. Speaker, I have serious concerns, and they are not exactly easy to express. I will explain why. There is a tendency to give a bit of a free pass, so to speak. It is as though, whenever there is a crisis, it is important to not question what the Prime Minister says, does, thinks, writes or changes. That is our job as parliamentarians, however.
Over the past few months, in a number of speeches and moments to which he, at least, attaches great importance, the Prime Minister has taken positions and made commitments that have not materialized so far. Had it not been for what appears to be a honeymoon phase, he would be having a harder time politically. It is risky for his party, which does not really bother me, but the fundamental problem is that it is risky for the well-being and the economy of the entire population of Quebec and Canada.
Incidentally, I salute my colleague. I am as keen as he is to disagree sometimes, but a gentleman is a gentleman.
