Mr. Speaker, it is pretty unbelievable that the minister opposite is refusing to answer questions about the gag order since that is what we are dealing with here. It is really sad that we cannot debate this further.
I would like to cite an hon. member who said the following on December 9, 2002:
Mr. Speaker, here we go again. This is a very important public policy question that is very complex and we have the arrogance of the government in invoking closure again.
Whose words are these? The current Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages said that on December 9, 2002. I think it is sad that the government has a double standard. The Conservatives impose gag orders when it suits them but complain about them when it does not.
Where does the minister stand? Will she finally explain why she is imposing a gag order? Why are they going back on their position?
I could ask more questions, but I am sure my colleagues also have questions that they would like to ask.
