Privilege

A question of privilege raised about the Minister of International Trade’s reporting duties. Arnold Viersen of the Conservatives argued that the minister is required, under an order in council, to table annual reports from the watchdog that tracks human rights abuses by Canadian companies abroad, and said three such reports have not been given to Parliament, which he argued violates members’ rights. He asked the Speaker to rule on the matter. A Liberal member said the government would review the comments and report back to the House later.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
