“The Prime Minister shows up to question period only about 26% of the time, and our questions about the country's finances go unanswered. He needs to come to the finance committee and answer them.”
“Mr. Speaker, one of the important statistics to consider in relation to why this motion is before the House is, of course, that the Prime Minister’s attendance at question period is roughly 26% of the time, and not all questions are answered. We have very important questions for the Prime Minister around the country’s finances, questions that are not answered with the made-up definitions or the fiscal anchor that he has chosen to control spending and debt in this country. Can the member comment as to why it is important for the Prime Minister to answer these questions in the finance committee?”
