In November 2015 the election was won by the Liberals. The liberals election commitment was to be more open and transparent - https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/trudeau-promises-more-transparent-government-and-changes-to-the-senate/article25924259/. This presentation looks at depts and events that relate to open, transparent and accountable government. The readers of this presentation can make their own judgment on the success of Liberals on being more open, transparent and accountable.

7. JUSTIN TRUDEAU OPEN AND TRANSPARENT
GOVERNMENT
2015 Election Campaign
• Trudeau has failed on access to information -
https://ipolitics.ca/2018/03/28/trust-me-trudeau-has-forgotten-
what-got-him-elected/ “If that’s the test, the Liberals have
flunked, big time. After three years in power, openness has
given way to opacity. Just this week, it took a grilling by the
opposition to get the Prime Minister to admit that he received
an overnight bag from the Aga Khan as a gift during his now-
infamous vacation on Bell Island. Trudeau hadn’t disclosed the
gift because it was deemed “unacceptable” by the Ethics
Commissioner, and thus did not have to be publicly disclosed
due to the wording of the Conflict of Interest Act, which only
requires the disclosure of “acceptable” gifts over the amount of
$200, other than those from a relative or friend. Trudeau still
refuses to reveal the value of the gift or what happened to it,
and while it might appear petty to insist on knowing whether
the bag was Walmart or Vuitton, that’s what you get when you
win power over promises to “do things differently” from your
secretive predecessors.”

• The fiscal monitor gives insight to how the Government Canada on the government taxation and spending cycles
March 2018 – Fiscal Monitor
April 2018 – Fiscal Monitor
As of April 2018 the Liberals no longer report
direct program spending by key departments

11. ETHICAL VIOLATIONS / LIBERALS
• Trudeau never truly accepted the ruling from the
ethics commissioner.
• Trudeau was also convicted of another ethical
violations (gift) -
https://globalnews.ca/news/3930242/commentary-
the-real-scandal-is-how-justin-trudeaus-four-ethics-
violations-carry-no-punishment/
• Morneau and the Villa -

• Leblanc and the Fishing Contract -
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-
dominic-leblanc-found-in-conflict-of-interest-for-
awarding-clam/
No where in Canadian history has either PM or
Minister of Finance ever been convicted of ethical
issues

12. LAVAGATE
• New Minister of Justice refuses to open up the Justice
Committee to debating the Lavalin case -
https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/ag-sees-no-
justification-for-probe-of-alleged-pmo-interference-in-
snc-lavalin-case-1.4289301
• Liberals again are hiding information for their own
reasons.
• Failing to open up the what happen with PMO
and Jody Wilson-Raybould means the Liberals are
neither transparent nor open when it comes to
information.

13. RCMP AND LAVALIN
• Liberals have restricted RCMP
investigation due to cabinet
confidentiality -

rcmp-on-snc-lavalin-inquiry/

14. DEFICITS
Justin Trudeau will not have a
balance budget in 2019
Deficits need to be view by many factors -

management-cycle-canada-issues-and-analysis-august-2019

15. AUDITOR-GENERAL
• Source - Source - http://www.oag-bvg.gc.ca/internet/English/acc_rpt_e_39082.html
• Joyce Murray vs John Brassard - https://www.facebook.com/JohnBrassardCPC/videos/461992237945729/
• Liberals voted against many budgets like 2014-2015. There was bumped up performance audits by CPC.
The Liberals seem to be going away from performance audits, why?
https://www.hilltimes.com/2019/06/03/202293/202293 - The 2016 annual report showed performance
audits of 34.9M as compare to 2019 which is showing 32.9M. The Liberals have scaled back performance
audits.
• Liberals are holding audits on sustainable areas despite trying to push their green agenda

16. FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND POLICIES
Trudeau said Canada is back
when it comes Foreign Policies
Globe is so far off! @JustinTrudeau has been failure on Foreign
Policy. @stephenharper was very solid.
I am suspecting that Globe is only looking at the UN angle
rather than country by country relationship!

17. COLTEN BOUSHIE TRIAL • Dangerous changes to the Criminal Code -
https://www.thepostmillennial.com/canada-is-using-online-
outrage-to-make-dangerous-changes-to-the-criminal-code/
“But the public is being misled.
Wilson-Raybould later tempered her Twitter pronouncement
by saying she wasn’t talking about any specific case, but the
message was clear: she would “fix” the law so future Gerald
Stanleys would be convicted.
The solution was Bill C-75, which has now passed third reading
in parliament.
Joseph Neuberger, a Canadian criminal lawyer and legal expert
warns that “this was a knee jerk reaction to one high profile
case that makes for very bad law and can lead to increased
time for jury trials and harms fairness for accused individuals.”
”

18. TERI-LYNNE MCCLINTIC
It was the liberals that change the
mandate for Corrections Canada

19. LIBERAL MP SISTER-IN-LAW WORKING FOR THE
ETHICS OFFICE

20. JANE PHILPOTT EXPULSION

21. MARK NORMAN TRIAL
• There is no disclosure of the settlement made to Mark Norman -
https://www.thepostmillennial.com/conservative-senator-rips-trudeau-over-secret-mark-
norman-settlement/ “What you don’t do, is you don’t is put your finger and try to weigh in
on the scales of justice,” Henein said of politics that went all the way to the top. “And I
know Canadians are paying close attention.”

and honest government!

23. CARBON TAX MISINFORMATION
• https://globalnews.ca/news/4586374/carbon-tax-rebate-what-you-need-to-know/
•
• How so? The carbon tax would cost people an extra $1,100 to 1,800 through higher
costs. The tax rebate would be lucky to cover 10% of the cost. Liberals are lying as
they normally do because they do not consider the complete past through of the
carbon to consumer goods, household expenses, etc.

@Andrewscheer seems to have completed all the nominations, right? https://www.conservative.ca/team/2019-
candidates/
Trudeau seems to have different view of open and transparency when it comes to his party!

28. BLOG #2 – OPEN AND TRANSPARENT GOVERNMENT
@justintrudeau never seems to grasp either accountability or open govt. People should look at Trudeau ethical
issues as well as how cases like Lavalin and Norman were handled by the PMO
@andrewscheer understands accountability and transparency as he served under Harper.

Return of Butts - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPiW4v1rKKA
Who would you trust more?

29. BLOG #3 – ETHICS / LAVALIN
• Birds of a feather flock together. @JustinTrudeau is no role model either for his MPs or Canadians as he has proven numerous
times that honesty, integrity, openness and accountability does not apply to him.
• https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-open-and-transparent-government-canada-august-2019
• Liberals under Trudeau will never be about what is best for Canada, but what is best for their agenda. All you must do is look at
what happen at the ethics committee meeting on August 21, 2019:
• @stevenmackinnon nice arrogant approach at the ethics committee. I hate to say it you are pure example why people need to
vote out your party. The DPA does not include jobs!
• @PierrePoilievre
• Steve does not seem to look at GDP details.
• https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/2019-election-gdp-and-growing-the-economy-canada-may-2019 . Lavalin also said no
jobs were at stake https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/snc-lavalin-job-losses-1.5071833
• https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/justin-trudeau-scorecard-2015-to-2019-august-2019
@andrewscheer if you want to sway voters then I suggest instead of attacking repeatedly the Lavalin affair that you just show how
you would be more open and transparent:
• More performance audits
• Ethics commissioner office goes into independent group
• Attorney General is separated into a separate department
• Anyone convicted of any ethics violation will be kick out of your party

30. CHANGES TO STATS CANADA REPORTS
• Stats Canada reports are good reports to use
along other reports as part of assessing both
government policies as well as the
performance of the economy.
• Liberals used to include graphs with many of
their reports, but that seems to have gone
out the window. Individuals can do their own
graph, but that would require work
• Liberals seem to be looking at more ways to
keep information from view.

31. ANITA VANDENBELD
Source - https://globalnews.ca/news/5479996/anita-vandenbeld-ottawa-guilty-ethics-code/
An Ottawa member of Parliament violated conflict-of-interest
rules when she asked voters to elect her husband to Ottawa
city council last year, says Canada’s ethics watchdog.
• Anita is on the ethics committee with her own violation. Anita should have been replaced by another MP was not
• Anita voted against having the ethics commissioner testified at emergency hearing on the Lavalin / Trudeau ethical
conviction - https://globalnews.ca/news/5792866/andrew-scheer-ethics-committee-snc-lavalin/ “Liberals Steve
MacKinnon, Mona Fortier, Michel Picard, Frank Baylis and Anita Vandenbeld — who was herself found last month by
Dion to have broken federal ethics rules — voted against the motion to invite the watchdog. Liberal Nathaniel
Erskine-Smith, Conservatives Lisa Raitt and Peter Kent, and the NDP’s Charlie Angus supported the motion.”

32. AMAZON FIRES
• Trudeau promises $16M to fight Amazon fires
• No where has Trudeau said he will ask for oversight and performance audit to ensure the money is spent on sustainable forestry
practices
• G7 plans to support $20M, but Canada for its own reason which are politically motivated is providing an additional funding of $16M
• Corruption is very strong inside and outside of government https://www.americasquarterly.org/content/heres-how-exit-latin-americas-

33. NOAH TWEET / TRUDEAU
• Lack of oversight -

256192 “Further investigation finds the administrator for
@EduCannotWait is @UNICEF . @UNICEFCanada spends
30% of its income on management, administration &
fundraising.”
• No where are there performance audits by the
organization -
https://www.educationcannotwait.org/downloads/advoca
cy-and-comms/
• The organization lacks audited Financial Statements and/or
verification of the results. There are few spot audits but no
comprehensive audits -
https://www.educationcannotwait.org/ecw-annual-
results-report-over-650000-children-reached-in-the-funds-
first-year-of-operations/
• Trudeau continues down the path of handing out money
without ensuring there is oversight including performance
audits.
• UN organizations have had issues with fraud and
corruption -

34. COVID VIRUS
• The government has proposed a bill that gives them unlimited power without parliamentary debate
and votes - https://business.financialpost.com/opinion/terence-corcoran-time-for-governments-to-
take-their-banal-cliches-off-the-
table?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1585133378
• The stimulus neither deals with the systemic issues facing Canadians nor does it provide oversight, i.e.
progress reports (AG and PBO review) - https://www.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/corona-virus-covid-
19-canada-economic-response
• The Liberals also did little when the virus first showed up in January 2020. Trudeau was too busy doing
his UN Seat tour - https://globalnews.ca/news/6596527/trudeau-security-council-africa/

35. COVID19 AND DR TAM
I have no doubt Ms Tam is very bright as I review his past positions. My concerns are that Tam likely is being gag and/or control
by Trudeau in terms of statements and policies.
Background:
It appears that Dr Theresa Tam led the leadership team on SARS. If so, then why did MS Tam not review the playbook for SARS –
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK92465/
It seems like Ms. Tam has been relegated to say what PMO tell her to say or do in terms of policies and statements?
https://edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/the-road-to-canadas-covid-19-outbreak-pt-2-timeline-of-federal-government-
failure-at-border-to-slow-the-virus-2/. It is Trudeau team that controls the message of the public sector.
Bio/Tam:
https://www.who.int/about/who_reform/emergency-capacities/oversight-committee/theresa-tam/en/
@telfordk @JustinTrudeau seem to control what is said or done by public officials. I thought Trudeau said he would
be more open and transparent including releasing the gag order for people to speak freely?
