Transparency is a key theme of the Liberal government, and it fulfilled a key election promise when it announced a parliamentary watchdog would be created as part of Bill C-22, which is currently before the House of Commons. However, a report by the non-partisan Library of Parliament says the proposed independent committee of MPs could be kept on a short leash, or even muzzled, by prime ministers. This contradicts Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale, who said recently that C-22 creates a committee that “will set its own agenda and report when it sees fit.”

These Harper style Stasi tactics will surely enrage our brave posting liberal warriors.  After all, they went apoplectic when Harper tried tactics like this.

I surely have to believe that every single argument our brave liberal warriors put forth about Harper was not simply driven by partisanship and was for the good of Canada and Canadians, right? 

Hello?  Are our brave warriors hiding in a Trump article again?

So brave.
