Mr. Speaker, if this were about accountability to taxpayers, the Conservatives would have given the member for Peterborough the job of cramping the style of the high-flying Muskoka minister who blew through $50 million, cannot remember how it was done, had absolutely no receipts but assures us that every Tory in Muskoka had a good time.
Accountability is about respecting the divisions of the Constitution. That was the question that was put to the parliamentary clerk.
The question remains: Is he flying solo or is this part of a larger government plan to undermine the independence of our Canadian courts?
