Mr. Speaker, there has never been a government, Liberal or Conservative, that has used a national security official to clean up an embarrassing mess that was self-inflicted by the Prime Minister.
I have a quote I would like to read for the Prime Minister. It is by a senior correspondent who has followed these issues for years. It says, “In 10 years of Harper, never saw a bureaucrat sent out to clean up a mess made by a politician. But it just happened with [the Prime Minister].”
Why is the Prime Minister using independent officials to clean up his mess?
