Mr. Speaker, the NDP always supported the creation of a public appointments commission, in spite of the tall tales told by certain Conservatives saying the opposite.
What we refused to support was the nomination of a controversial commissioner, Gwyn Morgan, who is no more nor less than the chairman of the board of SNC-Lavalin and who is also famous for his insulting comments about certain ethnic communities.
Why do the Conservatives want to rewrite history when the only controversy here is the one they created with that nomination?
