Aboriginal Affairs Minister’s Swipe At Trudeau, Mulcair ‘Totally Inappropriate’: MP – Huffington Post
July 29, 2015
Liberal MP Carolyn Bennett says it’s “totally inappropriate” for Canada’s aboriginal affairs minister to take political pot shots when talking about the First Nation Financial Transparency Act.
Bernard Valcourt issued a written statement Tuesday pledging to take action against bands that do not comply with the controversial piece of legislation. In it, he squeezed in a dig at the Liberals.
“It is shameful that Liberal leader Justin Trudeau said he would scrap this law and deny these members the right to access basic information about their community finances, a right that is awarded to every other Canadian,” he said.
