94 words · 5 sentences · 7 clauses

Replying to Pauline Rochefort (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, I want to come back to a point that I think is important. My colleague commented on our Prime Minister being an adviser to a former government. I simply want to point out that he was named the governor of the Bank of Canada by a Conservative prime minister. The same Conservative prime minister, at the recent investor summit, praised our current Prime Minister in the House of Commons. I simply want to hear my colleague comment on how the citizens in his riding feel about our current Prime Minister.”
