Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to mark the first 100 days of the new government and to demonstrate the broken promises or the “harpocracy” of the government. The list is long.
Number one, appointing a Conservative organizer to the Senate.
Number two, enticing a Liberal to cross the floor to his cabinet and recite the “harpocratic” oath.
Number three, muzzling the media by trying to hand pick who will ask questions.
Number four, disrespecting the Ethics Commissioner by refusing to cooperate.
Number five, creating an accountability bill that will make government less accountable.
Number six, standing idly by while his Conservative friends register as government lobbyists.
Number seven, recruiting lobbyists to his government.
Number eight, appointing his cabinet co-chair to the Privy Council.
Number nine, nominating a key Conservative fundraiser to chair the public appointments commission.
Number 10, scrapping the public appointments commission when he does not get his way with the nomination.
One hundred days of “harpocracy”. One hundred days of shame.
