Mr. Speaker, in exchange for Mike Duffy going along with the PMO clan, did the Prime Minister ever undertake to “publicly confirm you are entitled to sit as a Senator from PEI”?
Ethics October 23rd, 2013
Mr. Speaker, would the Prime Minister agree that he should have told the House how many members of his staff were involved in the Mike Duffy matter when he was asked by the NDP on June 5?
Ethics October 23rd, 2013
Mr. Speaker, we have heard Mike Duffy's version. If the Prime Minister wants to keep the tiny bit of credibility he still has, he should publicly release all of the documents about this scandal.
When will he do that?
Ethics October 21st, 2013
Mr. Speaker, did the Prime Minister's Office instruct Mike Duffy not to co-operate with Deloitte in the audit of his expenses? If so, why?
Ethics October 21st, 2013
Mr. Speaker, in December 2012, the Prime Minister's chief of staff stated that several senators had arrangements similar to Mike Duffy's.
Will the Prime Minister tell us specifically who these senators are?
Ethics October 21st, 2013
Mr. Speaker, again, no clear answer.
The lawyer for former Conservative Senator Mike Duffy just said that the Prime Minister's Office coached Mr. Duffy and provided him with lines for dealing with the media over the repayment of his inappropriate expenses. Could the government confirm that this is the case?
Ethics October 21st, 2013
Mr. Speaker, again, no clear answer.
Mike Duffy's lawyer says that he is in possession of documents that implicate the Prime Minister. Is the PMO really going to wait for Mr. Duffy's lawyer to release this evidence? Why will the Prime Minister's Office not release all documents to the public relating to this matter?
Ethics October 21st, 2013
Mr. Speaker, I wonder if the Prime Minister thinks it was business as usual. Friday we posed straightforward questions and, again, Conservatives refused to provide details about their role in the Senate-PMO expense scandal.
Mike Duffy's lawyer today spoke at length and provided lots of new details. According to him, documents from the PMO outlined how this involved “cash for repayment”.
Could the Prime Minister confirm that his office threatened to kick Mike Duffy out of the Senate if he did not go along with their scheme?
The Environment October 17th, 2013
Mr. Speaker, it sounds as if the hon. minister is confused about what action on climate change really is. Canadians were understandably confused after the minister said, “there's always a debate around science and what’s changing”.
Actually, that debate is over. Climate change is real. It is impacting Canadians and it is time for the government to take action.
Will the minister agree that with all the evidence before us about climate change the time to take immediate action is now?
The Environment October 17th, 2013
Mr. Speaker, I would like to welcome the new Minister of the Environment and ask her a very simple question.
Can the minister tell us, with a simple yes or no answer, whether she believes the scientific information about climate change contained in the IPCC report?
