Mr. Speaker, all week long the finance minister has pompously claimed that he does not politically interfere in the work of the chief actuary of the Canada pension plan.
The truth of the matter is there was major political interference. A special committee was established to deny requests for information if thought to be politically sensitive.
Why did the finance minister allow his department to establish a special committee to gag the chief actuary? Mr. Dussault objected to this political interference. Is this not the real reason why he was fired?
