Linda Duncan (Edmonton-Strathcona) questions the Government on Nov 8 on their refusal to be transparent about government spending.

Text of Question:

Mr. Speaker, the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates worked diligently to identify key reforms to improve the capacity of MPs to deliver their constitutional duty to scrutinize government spending, reforms based on the advice of renowned parliamentary experts. Despite two similar reports over the last decade, the government voted to throw these reforms in the dustbin.

Why is the government refusing to make the very reforms needed to usher in the once-promised open, transparent, participatory democracy?
