Mr. Speaker, I wonder if my colleague would comment on the vacuum of strong national leadership that emanates from the government benches and from the New Democratic Party?
On the government side, they see no value in terms of having first ministers' meetings.
From the New Democratic Party, there seems to be this divisive attitude and dismissive attitude of premiers and the roles they actually play.
Because he has been a part of a majority government, I wonder if he would comment on the value of actually having a first ministers' meeting where we have the federal government sitting down, working with provincial premiers.
