Mr. Speaker, if that minister wants to know what the committee has heard, perhaps he should read the newspapers.
Yesterday, the Deputy Prime Minister said, “On behalf of the government, I would encourage the public accounts committee to continue its work”. The problem is, today her members are about to force through a motion to shut down hearings for the week, and next week the Prime Minister apparently will dissolve Parliament and the committee along with it.
How exactly can the committee continue its work and hear more witnesses if it is being shut down by the Liberals?
