This cannot be the House of Commons, Mr. Speaker.
My question is for the Prime Minister or the person talking for the Prime Minister today. It concerns a statement made by the Minister of Human Resources Development in reaction to the protests of his colleague from Ontario on the issue of the cuts being proposed for post-secondary education.
The Minister of Human Resources Development is quoted as indicating that his anger in reaction to the position taken by the Government of Ontario could influence his thinking on changes to the Canada assistance plan.
What does one have to do with the other? Since when can a minister of the crown take it upon himself to wreak vengeance on a government because of a position it is taking on behalf of the people in a quite different file?
