Il adopte l'attitude générale d'hostilité envers le gouvernement de l'époque, quel qu'il soit, qu'il conserve toute sa vie. Il se fait remarquer deux fois : en 1838, alors que, bien qu'à l'époque sans siège au parlement, il se présente à la barre des Communes pour protester, au nom de l'Assemblée canadienne, contre la suspension de la constitution canadienne ; et en 1855, quand, après avoir renversé le ministère de Lord Aberdeen en portant une résolution pour la nomination d'un comité d'enquête sur la mauvaise gestion de la Guerre de Crimée, il préside ses délibérations.
