Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Here's a trigger warning: My comments will use the words “arrive scam”.
Arrive scam is impacting public trust, because it's an earth-shattering scandal with massive cost overruns, rigged processes, double-dipping, disappearing records, over 10,000 Canadians incorrectly sent into quarantine, deleted emails, senior public servants accusing each other of perjury, and multiple points of conduct that are likely criminal. Yes, this is impacting public trust. The public will trust public institutions only when and to the extent that those institutions actually earn their trust.
It's pretty rich for Liberals like Ms. Khalid to talk about the need for public trust in institutions when they have presided over a massive decline in the effectiveness and the trustworthiness of public institutions and have done nothing about it.
