Project dismantle, Mr. Speaker.
It is not only environmental assessments that the government wants to scrap. During the 2006 election campaign, the Prime Minister promised to establish a new Public Appointments Commission. He said that such a commission would “establish merit-based criteria” and “ensure that competitions are widely publicized and equitably administered”. The Prime Minister has not kept his word and is now dismantling this commission.
Why is the Prime Minister hiding the fact that he is breaking a promise on accountability in a budget bill?
