Misinformation is something they know all too well, Mr. Chair.
Furthermore, they voted against the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying and the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner. The funding of these officers of Parliament is extremely important. They hold the government to account and ensure trust in our institutions. Certainly, the Office of the Auditor General is a prime example.
Minister, the Leader of the Opposition, Pierre Poilievre, when he was the minister responsible for safeguarding our democracy, did not ensure that these officers of Parliament were funded adequately.
Can you explain to this committee your thoughts on how we ensure adequate funding for these institutions, and what next steps are being taken for accountability measures and to ensure adherence to the issues at hand?
