Madam Speaker, the minister did not answer, but we know on this side of the House what the Conservatives are afraid of.
The Conservatives are afraid of the fact that Canadians are increasingly concerned about the government's choices. We see it in the public reaction on the F-35 fiasco, the attacks on seniors' pensions, the unprecedented attempt to intrude on Canadians' personal information.
Now the government is trying to hide its cuts to services Canadian families need. Shame on it.
Will the government issue a new directive that ensures spending reports will be fully transparent? Will it stop the cover-up on spending cuts that hurt Canadian families?
