Sure, and I guess we're all old.

I should stop dying my hair gray.

At least you have it to die.

Yeah.

Listen, Ian Todd was brought in to prepare with a lot of other people, prepare Pierre Poilievre to become prime minister.

That's clearly not going to happen unless something completely unforeseen occurs for some time.

And so new skills are required, different skills.

Perhaps he didn't want to spend the next three or four years trying

doing that job because it will be three or four years before Pierre Poiliev.

It might get another shot at becoming prime minister.

We don't know whether or not he's going to get to the end of the line, but clearly Mr. Poiliev has signaled that it's his intention to stay as leader of the opposition.

And for that, other people are required with other skill sets.

And Steve Adhouse comes in to do it.

But I think it takes us back to a question you asked several minutes ago about what role Poiliev is going to play in the

in the referendum, if any.

You know, Jason Kenney believes that Mr. Poiliev should actually lead this, that this would be a way for him to trampoline back into the discussion as a serious national leader.

And I think of what it did for Jean Charest.

Jean Charest was seen as somebody who was a talented politician, reduced to just a member of a two-person caucus after the 1993 election.

And then four or five years later, he's the premier of Quebec.

And that made him a serious candidate to be prime minister again at some point.
