00:00:00.000We've been talking a little bit about Michael Ma, who, as you know, landed in hot water after casting doubts on reports of slave labor camps.
00:00:07.720He crossed the floor and drawing the ire of many people in his riding.
00:00:14.320I guess my question is, and I realize it's a numbers game with the liberals, but is Michael Ma more trouble than he's worth?
00:00:22.060If you're Mark Carney, probably not, because Michael Ma helps give you that majority that you want.
00:00:28.320And on April 13th, look, I think Mark Carney effectively has his majority already.
00:00:34.820He'll officially get it on April 13th with those by-elections.
00:00:53.820You know, what Ma said in relation to the issue of forced labor in China and insulting Margaret McQuaig-Johnson, a woman who, by the way, started her federal career as a public servant working in the Pierre Trudeau government, then worked for the Mulroney government, then worked for the Khrushchev government, the Martin government, the Harper government before retiring.
00:01:21.460and who is considered an expert in China, you know, he attacked her. There was no need to do
00:01:31.220that. But that shows the direction that the Carney government is going when it comes to China.
