Mr. Speaker, I am sure the winners of the Governor General's awards, the artists who are watching here today, appreciate the minister's total disdain for artists working in our country.
Now that a cover-up orchestrated by the Prime Minister's own chief of staff has been exposed, maybe showing Canadians a little contrition would go a long way and stop the baseless attacks and sad attempts to try to change the channel on their own corruption.
The email from Mike Duffy said he would stay quiet on direct orders from the Prime Minister's Office. Let us be clear: that came with a $90,000 cheque attached.
For 16 days Canadians have waited for answers. When are they going to get the answers they deserve?
