The Trudeau Liberals promised to reverse all that — Parliament would be restored as the people’s forum and the country’s greatest debating chamber. “I remain strongly committed to creating a diverse and inclusive committee that responds to the needs of all Canadians,” the prime minister responded. In a letter sent to the prime minister Wednesday, he said the New Democrats have made every effort to ensure the selection process is credible and non-partisan. However, it has long been considered the major limitation of that committee that the British prime minister nominates its members. But even in Canada’s less-than-ideal iteration, the idea that the government wants to choose the committee’s opposition members is outrageous.
