Mr. Speaker, it is nice to see the Prime Minister back among us. I hope he will give us some straight answers.
There is growing concern about political influence in the firing of the publisher of the Ottawa Citizen . In the last couple of days the Deputy Prime Minister refused on at least five occasions to say whether the Prime Minister or his staff had recent meetings with CanWest Global people.
Will the Prime Minister tell the House if he met privately with any member of the Asper family in the past three weeks?
