Mr. Speaker, I find the minister's indifference to Canadian drivers and their families astounding and dangerous.
In November he applauded Toyota's actions to protect consumers even as it was being investigated. On February 24, the minister claimed that Toyota had been a good corporate citizen. However, on March 17, he indicated he was considering criminal charges. What happened? Yesterday he retracted, saying that ministers did not order criminal charges to be laid.
If he cannot order them to be laid, will he ask the RCMP to investigate the breaches of the law by Toyota Canada?
