Mr. Speaker, the problem is that things are not what they seem. The government claims that its policy is to inform Canadians. In fact, it made a commitment during the election campaign to promote transparency in government, but now this policy, which is apparently so transparent, will let the government keep the facts and information under wraps.
Specifically, I want to ask the minister how he can reconcile with previous commitments the government's decision to hide from the taxpayers the results of countless polls that will be conducted to fight Quebec's sovereignty.
