The one sitting up front. Not the one down the back. Mr. Deputy Speaker, if your own Opposition Senate Leader said the old guard must go, the question is, When are they going to go?

[He] ran in constituency 17 twice, came within a hairline of actually winning a seat. Ran in seat 13 three times, not successful. But not given an opportunity in a safe seat. Why? People do not want to give up a safe seat. Now, arguably, they might say that about some people on our side. But the point is this. …

They threw him up in [constituency] 25. Oh, you can keep the seat for OBA. Oh, no, no, no, no. That did not happen. Then what happened after that? He became persona non grata. So, here is the thing. I do not want to give free advice to the OBA, but today is going to be free advice. [Laughter and …

I can guarantee you that. Every time I have stood in this House and said, I am guaranteeing you are going …

He is smarter than me. I have no problem saying he is smarter than me. The thing with the PLP is that we cultivate leadership. You start off in CC. You start off in a committee. You might get in the Senate. You might run in a seat that you might not win. But eventually you shall, with hard work …
