Once again, the Harpercrit strikes. This time, it turns out that the "ethics reform" legislation tabled in the House of Commons this past week has holes in it you can drive a truck through.
No big surprise - this is the second major gap in this piece of legislative window dressing. The first being the complete omission of any overhaul of the Access To Information acts.
Yes, there are aspects of the legislation presented earlier this week that I believe are good ideas. That isn't my point - far from it. For a party that claimed to want to do things "differently", and campaigned on "open, honest" government, we've had little of honesty, openness or accountability.
At every turn, it seems that the CPC is trying to engineer something in secret, foisting it upon us at the last possible minute, and hoping we don't spot the obvious problems with what they are doing.
