Mr. Speaker, in June 1991 while the Prime Minister was in opposition he said “If the system of ministerial accountability and integrity is not respected, people will never have confidence in the Public Service of Canada”.
By refusing to give a full accounting of his irresponsible and indiscreet discussions of October 1 the solicitor general and his leader are yet to stand by this principle.
I ask the solicitor general, now that he has filed an affidavit, is he willing to go before the public complaints commission and testify under oath and submit himself to cross-examination?
