Mr. Speaker, Justice John Gomery says his landmark report on ministerial responsibility is being ignored and disregarded by the Conservative government. Of course, he is right.
Two of the most senior Canadian government officials are at the heart of the NAFTA-gate leaks, our Ambassador to Washington and the Prime Minister's chief of staff.
The Gomery report states: “Ministers are fully responsible and accountable for the actions of exempt staff”.
Why has no minister taken any responsibility for the leaks? Why is Justice Gomery being repudiated by the government?
