Procedure and House Affairs committee I'm sorry...? That it's a step in the right direction...?

Procedure and House Affairs committee I see. Now, as one of the negatives the minister pointed out as justification for not funding you, she said, “For example, over $880,000 was to be used for advocacy, training, media strategies, and campaign activities in Canada” and “that is not the best way to spend public fund

Procedure and House Affairs committee Thank you, Ms. Corkery. We're trying to understand this too, although you understand the main purpose of our committee is to try to determine if the minister misled us about these details.

Procedure and House Affairs committee Mr. Chairman, as I see it, the minister's offence is twofold. First, she has deliberately misled--I believe she has deliberately misled--Parliament, this committee, and the general public, whether by omission or commission, and one is as serious as the other. There's a point in l

Procedure and House Affairs committee That's good enough then. She would have us believe it's a common and frequent practice to use the auto-pen. What percentage of the 758-some applications are dealt with by auto-pen in a given year?
