Can anything change by Monday, Mr. Mayrand?
The PCO received a brief from you some five or six weeks ago. The PCO is the department of the Prime Minister. They have been notified in writing that this issue is outstanding. Silence is acquiescence, I would argue. Silence is acquiescence. They knew about it. The Prime Minister knew about it. This caucus knew about it. The government knew about it. He called the by-election dates. Clearly, the Prime Minister and his staff have known about this for weeks.
Why is it that in off-the-cuff remarks—which are clearly unfounded and wrong—the Prime Minister attacks you and your organization during a photo op with the Prime Minister of Australia?
What are Canadians to make of this?
