Mr. Speaker, not only do I agree with it but we have respect for it.
A year ago today the Prime Minister stated in this House:
Canadians have a right to know who is trying to influence their elected and public officials.
Canadians have a right to know who was influencing the heritage minister. Every person who attended the fundraising dinner received a contract or an appointment from his heritage department.
Why will the government not release a complete list of who was invited and who contributed to the heritage minister's dinner? Does the Canadian public not have a right to know?
