It would appear that this is just another attempt by the Liberals to shut down a real conversation and the opportunity to hold the minister accountable. As stated, it is already in the works that the minister will be coming to committee in March in order to brief us in regard to the estimates. We know that's already been confirmed. It's already a part of our calendar. That's not what I'm requesting. I'm not requesting a financial analysis with the minister. I'm requesting that she come and brief us with regard to the changes that have been made in her department.
If this government truly cares about being transparent, truly cares about being honest with Canadians and truly cares about being held accountable by the Canadian public and the members of the opposition, and if this government truly cares about changing its tone, then now would be the opportunity to function with integrity rather than follow the premise that your Prime Minister has already set for you.
