Die Weigerung der Liberalen und die Forderungen der Opposition wegen Dokumenten zum Ausgabenskandal haben zu einem Rückstand in der Regierung geführt

The most transparent and open government. As promised: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/globe-politics-insider/trudeaus-open-government-plan-guaranteed-to-make-waves-in-ottawa/article26962569/

I can’t wait for when this Liberal government is out of power so we can truly investigate their corruption. I hope anyone who broke the law is charged.

Reminds me of the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sponsorship_scandal from 2004 only 100x worse.

Ah yes! A tradition as old as time itself. The Liberal government refusing to cooperate for being called out on their scandals.

The Liberals created a billion dollar fund to spur investment in green technologies and appointed a board of well-connected Liberals to oversee it. A whistleblower testified — and audits have corroborated— that tens and possibly hundreds of millions of dollars were awarded to board members themselves with virtually no controls or oversight, often to projects that had nothing whatsoever to do with the fund’s purpose. After the whistleblower’s testimony the Liberals quietly shut the whole thing down. The RCMP is investigating.

Recently, the CPC, NDP and BQ joined together to exercise their lawful Parliamentary privilege to require the Liberals to produce, unredacted, all documents related to this fund. The Liberals refuse to do so. No less than the Liberal Speaker of the House has ruled that the Liberals are illegally defying this requirement.

These are the facts of the matter. They are not in dispute.

Every attempt to make this whole thing about the Conservatives — as the Liberal House Leader has repeatedly attempted to do — is gaslighting in its purest form. Every time a Liberal politician or a journalist or pundit tries to make this issue about blocking the activity of the house or preventing the government from doing its job is similarly doing nothing but providing a smokescreen for the Liberals to once again avoid taking any accountability for their own actions.

The business of the House could resume tomorrow if the Liberals stopped illegally defying the order of Parliament and produced all the documents related to this scandal. That they won’t is the *only* true story here.

This, by the way, is the second time the Liberals have tried to defy the House in this way. The first was to stymie the investigation into the Winnipeg lab breech, where two individuals who turned out to be Chinese agents were allowed to essentially pillage information and samples from Canada’s only level-4 biological research facility, and send them on to China. The Liberals eventually prorogued Parliament and then called an election to avoid complying with that order of the House.

Can there be any doubt that what these documents contain would be exceptionally damaging to the Liberal Party?

Love how the article does not mention that the RCMP already has these documents.

So corruption is not only costing Canadians millions but it is also now preventing the government from accomplishing anything. Fantastic

how transparent
