Indigenous backbencher dropping hints about availability after Wilson-Raybold cabinet resignation

Liberal MP Robert-Falcon Ouellette has been not-so-casually dropping hints about his availability in the wake of fellow MP Jody Wilson-Raybould’s resignation from cabinet on Tuesday.

“Yeah, I’m pretty busy representing my Winnipeg constituents,” Ouellette shouted loudly near Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office.

“But not too, too busy, if you know what I mean. Like nothing I couldn’t totally handle at a moment’s notice.”

At noon on Parliament Hill, several reporters said they could hear John Fogerty’s Put Me in Coach playing loudly from Ouellette’s office.
