Mr. Speaker, when it comes to cleaning up Canadian politics, the government did not get the job done.
It has been exactly 12 months since the Federal Accountability Act passed. There is still no public appointments commission to put an end to patronage. There is still no parliamentary budget officer to end the budget fraud engaged in by the government. There is still no lobbyist registration act to tie a bell around the necks of lobbyists and the government broke its promise completely on reforming the Access to Information Act.
When it comes to transparency, why does it not come clean with the Canadian people and admit it did not get the job done?
