Mr. Speaker, the information commissioner is not a Quebecker. He is a person mandated by the federal government to do a job.
We know that the Prime Minister has a tendency to protect his ministers excessively, as was the case with the former solicitor general, who revealed confidential information while travelling on an airplane. However, what the Minister of Human Resources Development has done is much more serious. He violated the act for a political gain.
How can the Prime Minister protect a minister who violated an act of the federal parliament for over two and a half months, and who only complied with that act under extreme pressure, under the threat of legal proceedings?
