The puffin is significant as Mr. Dion's deputy, Michael Ignatieff, mused about the little bird at the Liberal's summer caucus retreat in Newfoundland last year. Mr. Ignatieff was the subject of some derision after he offered a little hinterland-who's-who type moment about the “noble” puffin: “They lay one egg [each year],” he said. “They put their excrement in one place. They hide their excrement.... They flap their wings very hard and they work like hell. This seems to me a symbol for what our party should be.”
