Madam Speaker, the exercise of power that was most shocking was that the Liberals sent the Clerk of the Privy Council to threaten the former attorney general. He said the Prime Minister was going to “find a way to get it done, one way or another”. He went on, “He is in that kind of mood, and I wanted you to be aware of it.”
What kind of mood does the Prime Minister get in? Then Mr. Wernick said she would not want to be on a collision course with the Prime Minister. I saw in the House one night when a woman was in a collision course with the Prime Minister, so no, she did not want to do that, but she stood up.
I then asked her if she was threatened by Mr. Wernick. She said she wasn't threatened once; she was threatened three times. Let us imagine that. The first indigenous woman justice minister, and they are telling her the Prime Minister is “in that kind of mood”.
I think he is in that kind of mood tonight, but I would like to see him here and at least be accountable and have the guts to show up and be honest to Canadians.
