Au contraire, Mr. Speaker, I think my new leader is very progressive and very honest, I might add.
Jean Lapierre, the Prime Minister's unelected, hand-picked lieutenant from Quebec, talk about a democratic deficit. In a recent interview Mr. Lapierre commented on everything from the election timing to ad scam to the laying of charges by the RCMP. By providing this type of commentary, he simultaneously politicizes and compromises an RCMP investigation that is ongoing.
With his proximity to the Prime Minister, does the Prime Minister condone this commentary?
