Mr. Speaker, to get to the bottom, one has to go to the top. The Prime Minister has become the artful dodger of accountability. Rogue bureaucrats, a few Quebec ministers, a former prime minister, throw in an ambassador, now it is crown corporations; the Prime Minister has mastered the art of finger pointing.
It has been literally months since he was aware of this brewing scandal within the department. It has been months. Does the Prime Minister really believe that after years of inaction and denial, simply suspending a few Liberal friends is going to absolve him completely of any his own personal responsibility?
