Madam Speaker, I wonder if my colleague could talk a little more about accountability. From my perspective, bringing in this new committee is really smoke and mirrors. It seems we are going to have this committee and the ministers will be less accountable because they will be able to point to the committee and say, “I am doing a great job because, see, the committee is not doing anything”.
However, the minister and the Prime Minister would both have control over what a report from the committee says. The committee could study something, write a report, and the minister could take all of the damning evidence out of the report and then put the report forward.
Could my colleague comment on that?
