Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister intervenes not to protect Canadian taxpayers but to protect the discredited minister.
In 1991 the Prime Minister said “When we form government, every minister in the cabinet will have to take full responsibility for what is going on in their department. If there is any bungling in the department, the minister will have to take responsibility”.
When did the Prime Minister abandon the principle of holding cabinet ministers accountable for squandering taxpayers' money?
