Mr. Speaker, after denying allegations for months, late last night an assistant to the Minister of Natural Resources stepped down after he was caught meddling in access to information requests.
That is potentially criminal behaviour.
What is more, this practice was widespread in the minister's office. Documents show that a number of the minister's senior employees participated in this systematic, misleading and illegal withholding of information.
The minister cannot claim he knew nothing about this. Will he take responsibility and admit that he broke the law?
