Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Deputy Prime Minister.
At a meeting this past weekend of the Professional Institute of the Public Service its president, Mr. Hindle, said that the pride of the public service will never be restored as long as it is run by paternalistic managers who do not treat workers as equals and who keep them from speaking out on politically sensitive issues. He also stated that mismanagement of Canada's fisheries illustrates how public service managers keep employees from speaking the truth.
When will the Liberal government remove the suppression or gag order from scientists who work in the fisheries and oceans, health and environment departments and allow the truth to come forward—
