Mr. Speaker, let us talk a little about Phoenix. The parliamentary secretary and his minister have been providing very poor leadership.
First, the minister never admitted that she made a mistake by implementing the Phoenix pay system in February 2016.
Second, she is not taking responsibility for the situation. Instead, she is sending the deputy minister to all of the press conferences.
Third, since the fiasco began, the minister has been trying to minimize the seriousness of the crisis, which is affecting thousands of Canadian families.
When will the minister show some political courage in this matter?
