Mr. Speaker, last week the Prime Minister decided once more to control how one of his speeches would be broadcast, to thumb his nose at traditional media and to post his response to the Throne Speech on the popular website, YouTube.
Citizens are now being invited to ask the Prime Minister questions, and he will answer the questions that receive the most votes from Internet users.
We hope that he will respond to questions from Quebeckers who, like us, are pressing him to explain various things, such as his government's position in Copenhagen, where it won several fossil awards. Others are asking him when he will stop giving subsidies to companies mining the tar sands and when he will finally stop big business and banks from evading taxes.
We hope that the PMO's apparent decision to provide unfiltered information via YouTube will also give us answers to these questions.
