Mr. Speaker, this issue is all about the Prime Minister's judgment. He had ample reason to drop the minister from cabinet. Why did he delay? He should have dropped her 24 months ago for abandoning Brenda Martin. He should have told her to step aside seven months ago when cocaine was found in her car. He certainly should have fired her two months ago when she violated safety regulations at the Charlottetown airport.
Why was the Prime Minister's judgment lacking for so long, or did it just not suit his purposes at the time?
