There is a buffet of baloney, Mr. Speaker.
David Dingwall clearly said at committee that he was entitled to his entitlements. That includes severance on top of everything else. There are two solitudes in Canada: hardworking, tax paying Canadians and Liberals with entitlements.
The government can produce no law that requires this severance payment, no written legal opinions, and no common law precedents, yet the Prime Minister is directing the Privy Council Office to negotiate David Dingwall's entitlements.
Why is the Prime Minister encouraging this Liberal culture of entitlement with this negotiation with David Dingwall?
