Mr. Speaker, people across Canada are most disturbed with the Prime Minister's lack of parliamentary democracy in this House.
If MPs cannot speak out on important issues without being punished, Canada is in serious trouble. Remember, if the GST is not scrapped, the Deputy Prime Minister will resign. My question, therefore, is for the Deputy Prime Minister.
How can the Deputy Prime Minister sit there in all good conscience after having gone back on her word while a long-time colleague of hers is made a scapegoat and hung out to dry while standing up for his principles?
