Mr. Speaker, I will be the first to say that my opinion on things absolutely changes, given the context and the circumstances that the world is in, from time to time. As a matter of fact, I would even argue that this is the whole reason why we come to this room. All 343 of us come to this room not just to give speeches endlessly and then sit down or leave. Call me an idealist, but do we not come here with the whole point of trying to convince people of something? As such, from time to time, I will be the first to say that I will put myself in a position to say that maybe my position on something is wrong and maybe I should look at it differently. To be critical of that is to be critical of the entire democratic process, the entire reason why 343 of us come to this room.
In the House of Commons on April 14th, 2026. See this statement in context.
