Mr. Speaker, what we see happening today is enough to make a person totally lose hope.
Either the minister is the one who co-ordinated the game of hide-and-seek that has been going on in Human Resources Development Canada for more than a year now, or she has been the puppet of the PMO and of her own Deputy Minister, who preferred to bring 40 public servants together from all over Canada in order to speak to them of the problems at HRDC instead of speaking to the new minister about them.
Either way, whether she is the puppet or the puppet master, she must resign.
