Speaker, on October 2 the health minister's assistant deputy minister for controlled substances told the health committee that no federal funding was used to buy crack pipes. This week, the very same official was caught lying to committee when she revealed that Health Canada was in fact buying crack pipes with tax dollars.
If an average Canadian lies on a government forum, they face real consequences, so can the health minister tell us what consequences her senior official will face for lying to Parliament about funding crack pipes?
