Mr. Speaker, I will table this letter. The letter will show that the government did know.
On September 28, I asked for the commissioner's resignation. I asked questions about the contradictions. The government members did not.
The Prime Minister said in question period yesterday, and repeated it today, “the government is surprised and concerned by the change of testimony” that occurred yesterday. It was an act. The letter of November 2 made it clear the commissioner had changed his testimony and the Prime Minister had known for a month.
All the mock surprise in the world cannot hide the fact that for one month the Prime Minister and the minister knew it all, yet they did nothing.
