Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for her comments on our negotiation process. It was nice of her to mention that.
I have to share that during the last appearance of the minister at PROC, we asked if her government would ensure major announcements, particularly spending announcements, could not be made during the pre-writ period. We asked the following questions:
Will your government ensure that government resources are not used to pay for campaign-style events—for example, town halls featuring the Prime Minister or other ministers, public consultations featuring elected politicians as opposed to [bureaucrats or other] public servants, or other publicly televised or streamed events during the pre-writ period?
Will your government ensure that government departments cannot release public opinion research, reports, or other documents that may influence public opinion, except those of course required by law during the pre-writ period?
Will your government ensure that no major announcements about policy intentions or budget projections can be made during the pre-writ period?
Given those requests so kindly made to the minister, I have the following question for the parliamentary secretary.
Does she have any good news to share about the questions we asked during the minister's last appearance?
