Mr. Speaker, perhaps it shows good judgment on the part of the television companies.
Their refusal to testify before a parliamentary committee means that the Prime Minister, the Minister of Public Safety and the member for Beauce are hiding something. Why else would they steadfastly refuse to answer questions in this House and in committees when one of the fundamental principles of the Conservative party is, and I quote, “the supremacy of democratic parliamentary institutions and the rule of law”?
Is this not another example of the Conservatives' hypocrisy and arrogance?
