Madam Speaker, it is interesting listening to the member across the way. My recollection of history is that only one government, that I am aware of, avoided accountability to the House of Commons, and through the House of Commons, to the people of Canada. That was actually Stephen Harper's government.
The member did not make reference to it, but Stephen Harper determined that he would prorogue the House to prevent a vote of non-confidence. At no point in time, contrary to the false impression that the member put on the record, has the current government ever avoided accountability, even during the pandemic.
The members will find that the current Prime Minister has answered more questions in the House, at virtually double the number, than Stephen Harper ever did. It is a bit much to try to say that this Prime Minister is not accountable; in fact, quite the opposite is the case, especially compared with Stephen Harper, the prime minister the member served under.
Can the member provide his thoughts about what took place when former prime minister Stephen Harper prorogued the session in order to avoid a confidence vote?
