Mr. Speaker, I had the great honour and privilege to study under Mr. Arthur Kroeger, a man who many may not know but was considered the dean of deputy ministers, someone of the highest esteem. I think if he were alive today, he would be disgusted by the actions that are undertaken today.
Integrity, respect, non-partisanship are the values of our public service. Those are the values that we as Canadians, we as parliamentarians expect from a non-partisan public service, from a public service that is fearless in its advice, but loyal in its implementation. Unfortunately, the Clerk of the Privy Council has failed in those duties, and he must resign.
