Mr. Speaker, the Minister for International Trade is taking cover to avoid answering the questions of parliamentarians on the problems affecting the Department of Human Resources Development, for which he was responsible during a long time.
Will the minister do the honorable thing and agree to testify before the Standing Committee on Human Resources Development regarding the bungling at Human Resources Canada, particularly since the chair and the vice-chair of the committee, who are both fellow Liberals, said that they may well call the minister to testify?
