“Mr. Speaker, I am quite shocked by the question coming from the member for Burlington in saying that it is theatrical to care about accountability and oversight in the House of Commons and in committee structures. The government that she is a part of, the Liberal government, has more ethics violations than any government in the history of Canada. There is corruption, there are scandals in the government, and now it is trying to change the committee structure so that the opposition parties cannot hold the government to account. How can someone say that it is not something that should matter to each and every Canadian when the government is trying to run roughshod and do whatever it wants? Is no one supposed to hold it accountable? How can we trust the government to get it right if we cannot hold it accountable?”
