Mr. Speaker, I think my colleagues across the way are quick on the uptake, and they have realized that pressuring the minister works.
For example, last year, the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs managed to get four of his top donors, the wife of his brother-in-law, and his neighbour appointed to the bench. The minister would have us believe that it was a coincidence, that no one spoke to him about those candidates and that even if anyone had, he would not have listened.
Can we all agree that this looks bad? Will the minister finally realize that he is the only one who believes that these appointments are not partisan?
