Mr. Speaker, the solicitor general is one of two law officers whose obligation to parliament supersedes any political loyalty to the Prime Minister.
By consulting with the Prime Minister's office on the issue of funding for the APEC hearings the solicitor general has yet again compromised his office and tainted a process which he has so vigorously defended.
Once upon a time the solicitor general had a responsibility to parliament yet he has repeatedly betrayed this loyalty. Will he recognize his failing, show some respect for this institution and offer his resignation?
