Mr. Speaker, the most devastating cut to the Department of National Defence is when this government cut leadership, accountability and responsibility from the vocabulary at the Department of National Defence headquarters.
The Liberals campaigned on a promise of more open government. Yet Canadians are shocked to learn of the policy of containment at the Department of National Defence and for the first time in Canadian history we find that this federal government has applied to the courts to suppress a document that was released by the information commission.
Why does the Prime Minister support the policy of containment designed to thwart the information commissioner and designed to thwart information getting to the Canadian public?
