Oral Questions
Finance
“I want to say many kind things that sound good but have no specifics. Trust us. We are doing important things. It would be bad to question us.”
MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
Yasir Naqvi
Naqvi sticks closely to standard Liberal talking points, dodging specific questions by repeating general assertions of how hard the government is working on various files. He reliably fills his speaking time with positive but vague statements about the importance of an issue, how much the government cares about it, and how great certain groups in his riding are. When rattled by tough questions, he tends to respond with generic platitudes, but he shows a particular interest in diversifying Canada's trade partnerships to boost jobs and the economy.
