Mr. Speaker, Richard Colvin is the latest in a long list of honest Canadians who have had the integrity and courage to speak out on government wrongdoing; to name a few: Linda Keen, Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission; Adrian Measner, Canadian Wheat Board; Matthew Bramley, environmentalist. All of these individuals have been personally attacked as a defence for government inaction.
Instead of listening and taking corrective action, the Conservative government engages in character assassination after character assassination.
Is there nothing the Conservative government will not do to people who come forward and expose its shortcomings?
