Helena Konanz Conservative
“Conservatives asked for an investigation into a government program that wasted $300 million. The Liberals moved the meeting behind closed doors, which legally stops me from talking about it for 30 years. That is not transparent.”
“Madam Speaker, at a recent health committee, Conservatives moved a motion calling for a full investigation into the Liberals’ wasteful, $300-million PrescribeIT boondoggle. The Liberals immediately responded by moving that meeting behind closed doors. As a result, under House rules, I am forbidden from telling Canadians what happened in that meeting for the next 30 years. Does silencing MPs on committee work for 30 years show transparency from this majority Liberal government?”
