Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Prime Minister said in the House that senior public servants working for or against political parties were not governed by the act which prohibits them from conducting such activities. Moreover, the Prime Minister claimed that the Supreme Court had invalidated the applicable legislative provision.
Can the President of the Treasury Board confirm that this provision in the Public Service Employment Act is still in effect, and can he tell us if the Treasury Board always applies the legislation in an unbiased way?
