Mr. Speaker, the House will note that the Deputy Prime Minister did not answer my question.
The new Liberal leader is hard at work running his parallel government, planning first ministers' meetings, working on the next budget, touring disaster sites and promising funds, and making all kinds of promises to other groups.
In other words, he is taking all of the power of the Prime Minister while refusing any accountability for the powers that go with that office.
I will give the Deputy Prime Minister another chance to answer my question. Is it true that the government will prorogue the House after the new Liberal leader is chosen so that he can continue to avoid questions on his policies?
