Mr. Speaker, if the Prime Minister is an opponent of such secrecy, maybe some day things will not be decided in secret in his cabinet and in the PMO.
The election of committee chairs is only the first leg of the journey toward allowing members to play a more important part in the House of Commons. Already, a majority of members of this House support the decision to broaden the role of members and committees in the governance of our country.
Why is the Prime Minister so afraid to complete the journey toward greater democracy in this House?
