Mr. Chair, the minister is compounding her apparent contempt for a cabinet job through the non-performance and non-attendance with contempt for this committee when she refuses to answer questions.
I asked a very direct question which she did not even attempt to address in a response. The question was this. Is it true, according to public reports, that she was threatened with being dumped from the cabinet operations committee for missing critical meetings? Is it true that senior government officials have said that she is not serious about contributing to the 10-member operations committee? Why would she imperil her position on this important committee?
