Replying to Carol Anstey (Conservative)
“Mr. Speaker, having government appointees appear before committee is standard practice. The Liberals made the unusual decision to appoint the Prime Minister’s wife to this role. That should mean more transparency, not less. Lobbyists and special interest groups are celebrating that they have access to the Prime Minister’s wife, and $1.2 billion is not a small amount of money. Canadians deserve to know what her responsibilities are, what authority she has and how their money is being spent. What do the Liberals have to hide by blocking her appearance?”
