Mr. Speaker, the Auditor General of Canada is an independent officer of Parliament whose mandate it is to investigate government mismanagement, waste and abuse.
Not only is the Prime Minister critical of the independent inquiry into Somalia but the Liberal dominated finance committee has also found fit to interfere with the day to day affairs of the auditor general.
My question is for the Prime Minister. What is the purpose of this attack on the auditor general, who is an independent officer of the House and whose job it is to investigate the government and report back to this House?
