This vital department isn't entrusted to beginners. The people who led this department were highly experienced politicians and experienced ministers. Unfortunately, four of them failed to do their homework. Yet they still play a key role today. I'm talking about Mr. Mendicino, the current chief of staff of the Prime Minister of Canada and second in command in the country; the Minister of Crown‑Indigenous Relations; the Minister of International Trade; and the current Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Why were four ministers rewarded by the current government and why do they remain in office, even though they turned a blind eye to this lax approach, which is totally unacceptable to Canadian taxpayers?
