Mr. Speaker, that response fails completely to answer the basic question troubling Canadians who place their trust in the government: can voters count on politicians to keep their word?
The Deputy Prime Minister blames her pledge to resign on loose lips. Far from it. Her comments were deliberate, calculated and repeated over and over again on the campaign trail.
Will the government keep at least one promise? Will the Deputy Prime Minister, the member for Hamilton East, do the honourable thing on her word to Canadians and resign?
