Errata:
At one point in this episode, Jaime says that all 7 current NDP MPs are from the West or the North of Canada. He knows this is not the case and regrets the error. He would specifically like to apologize to the Hon. Alexandre Boulerice, who has represented the Montreal riding of Rosemont--La Petite Patrie since 2011--no disrespect was intended.
