Aaron Gunn Conservative
“Canadians deserve to know what deals were made in secret. We do not know what was promised behind closed doors to change the balance of power in the House. Canadians did not have a say in these decisions.”
“Mr. Speaker, the truth is that this is a question Canadians would like to have answered. I do not have the answers. We do not know what conversations were happening behind closed doors. We do not know what was offered or what enticements were made. That is the very essence of the problem. Is the balance of power in this chamber, in this House, about to be upset because of conversations that Canadians were not subject to, did not have a say in and did not have a vote on? I wish I had the answers to my hon. colleague’s questions, and I think Canadians wish they had those answers as well.”
