Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives continue to hide the truth from Canadians. An opposition motion to study the Auditor General's previous reports was not adopted by the Standing Committee on Public Accounts: reports on cost overruns for military helicopters, the $500,000 severance paid to the integrity commissioner, and mismanaged renovations on Parliament Hill.
The Conservative member for Sault Ste. Marie even told the media, “With the election, much has changed.”
Why will this government not let the Standing Committee on Public Accounts do its work? What does it have to hide?
