Mr. Speaker, he is correct. Canadians do expect the government to be transparent, which then begs the question yet again.
Adrienne Clarkson, a former governor general, has spent $200,000 per year since 2005 when she left office. That is over and above the amount that she takes home for her pension. Former governor general David Johnston has come forward and pre-emptively offered that his accounts could go on public record.
My question is simple. Will the Liberals release a detailed account with regard to the expenses incurred by Adrienne Clarkson?
