Mr. Speaker, our constituents would like to have some accountability at HRDC.
Much of what we requested are already completed documents. They are ready to go. The minister pretends she wants transparency. The only transparency is the apparent attempt to muzzle the department.
The Access to Information Act is clear. Departments have 30 days to return requested information. Dozens of requests have not been dealt with yet.
Is the minister's clampdown a result of some embarrassment or fear over the possible damaging content of these documents?
