5. INTRODUCTION
• Liberals ran a platform on being
more open and transparent when
it came to governing Canada -
https://www.liberal.ca/openness-
and-transparency/
• This presentation will discuss key
failures when it comes to open
and transparent government

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.”
9. ACCESS TO
INFORMATION /
BUTTS

• 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-

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 -

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

less would cost the country much more

• 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
20. 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!

21. 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.”
”
22. TERI-LYNNE MCCLINTIC
It was the liberals that change the
mandate for Corrections Canada

25. 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.”
26. BLOG – OPEN AND TRANSPARENT GOVT

ethical violations and has failed to deliver his mandate, right?
• Do you know your MP -

myself have experience things differently when it comes to open
and honest government!

27. 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!
32. 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?
33. 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
34. 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.
35. 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.”
36. 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-

37. NOAH TWEET / TRUDEAU
• Lack of oversight -
https://twitter.com/AndrewNJohns/status/1069355422325
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 -

38. 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/
39. 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 –

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.

@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?

sources with knowledge of the situation, Silver, senior vice-president, strategy, policy, risk at private mortgage company MCAP, approached ex-
Finance Minister Bill Morneau’s office in April asking for legislative changes to the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS). Vice News first
reported the story on Friday. In his dealings with Morneau’s office, Silver, who is not a registered lobbyist and whose wife Katie Telford has worked
as Trudeau’s chief of staff since 2015, even went so far as to suggest a specific wording for the legislative change he was seeking, according to one
source.” - https://www.thewhig.com/news/politics/katie-telfords-husband-pressed-trudeau-government-to-make-changes-to-wage-subsidy-law-to-

80. PBO AND SPENDING
PBO and Transparency
The first accused the government of having failed to provide detailed information in its recent request to Parliament for
$79 billion in added spending authority. "While the sum of these measures is significant, the amount of information

83. WATER MANAGEMENT
@TerryDuguid
Why are you creating another dept, especially as water management falls under the jurisdiction of the provinces? All you need to
do is create a central database that can be updated by provinces and local governments as it relates to water management

The Government of Canada announced $5.1 million in funding to support 46 new projects to protect and restore the Great Lakes
through the Great Lakes Protection Initiative in 2020–21 Source - https://www.canadianmanufacturing.com/environment-and-
safety/canada-invests-5-1m-in-great-lakes-protection-263564/ (This is more about buying votes than sound policies. There should
be coordination with the Province of Ontario along with MN, Ohio, PA, NY, MI, and WI in terms of water quality.
Canada Water Agency
• Creating a cohesive system for managing Canada’s fresh water is a tall order. Currently, responsibilities for freshwater
management are shared among federal, provincial, territorial and municipal governments, and Indigenous peoples. At the
federal level alone, more than 20 departments and agencies have some responsibility for fresh water
• There are federal acts like fisheries or water acts - https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/water-
overview/governance-legislation/federal-policy.html or https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/corporate/international-
affairs/partnerships-countries-regions/north-america/great-lakes-water-quality-agreement.html
• Provinces already do audits of water management
• Municipalities also do audits of their water management based on provincial and federal acts.

GREENPEACE ACTIVIST JOINED COLLEAGUES IN TRYING TO SHUT DOWN AN ESSO STATION IN
DOWNTOWN MONTREAL BY CHAINING THEMSELVES TO THE PUMPS. GUILBEAULT WAS AGAINST THE
OIL INDUSTRY, HE WAS AGAINST REGULAR PEOPLE DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK, AND HE WANTED TO
SHUT IT DOWN.
NOW, GUILBEAULT IS A MINISTER IN THE TRUDEAU GOVERNMENT WHO DRIVES MORE IN JUST A FEW
MONTHS THAN THE AVERAGE CANADIAN DRIVES IN A YEAR.

ignored, why? https://www2.slideshare.net/paulyoungcga/vaccine-production-biotech-and-pharma

Over 110,000 federal workers were granted paid leave so far during the pandemic, according to a new report
from the Parliamentary Budget Office.
Published Tuesday, the report — collated from data collected from 84 of 90 federal public service organizations
– states 113,362 federal civil servants booked time off between March and September under the “Code 699
paid leave for other reasons” payroll code, costing the government civil service over $1.1-billion.
90. SKILLS TRAINING GAPS / MANUFACTURING
I did not see where @cafreeland discussed increasing the transfers to CST to support the skill trades. I did hear Freeland discuss the green economy
and daycare. Manufacturing is still around 10% of GDP as such needs policies that support its expansion!

Blog – Skills Shortage – Manufacturing – Canada
80% of Canadian manufacturers surveyed in a new report are facing an immediate labor and skills shortage that was made worse by the COVID-19
pandemic.
TORONTO — 80% of Canadian manufacturers surveyed in a new report are facing an immediate labour and skills shortage that was made worse by the
COVID-19 pandemic.
A Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters survey of 563 companies across 19 sectors released Dec. 1 found the need for skilled labourers has been
growing rapidly for years, but COVID-19 government relief, health concerns and family responsibilities are making the situation even more
troublesome.
“Our skills gap that existed before the pandemic was just exacerbated by the pandemic and we need to make sure that everybody is working toward
getting that next generation of workers in the sector,” said Dennis Darby, president of the CME.
His organization, which represents more than 2,500 companies across the country, said 70% of manufacturers had a shortage of labour and skills in
2018, up from 40% in 2016.

This typical from Adam and the LPC which is
to blame someone else for their mistakes.
Hey Adam, Did the Liberal not promise back
in 1993 a National Daycare?
You had 4 years to do daycare when you have
a majority govt and did not, right?

92. CHINA AND VACCINES Three members of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet who are most involved in
plans to procure COVID-19 vaccines will be called before a Commons committee to
explain how a sizable investment early on in the pandemic to manufacture doses
domestically did not bear fruit.
Health Minister Patty Hajdu, Public Services and Procurement Minister Anita Anand,
and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Minister Navdeep Bains will
each be summoned to testify before the House breaks for the winter holidays, in
accordance with a motion adopted by the industry committee on Tuesday.
Their appearances will be part of the committee’s emergency study of $44 million
that Ottawa spent on upgrades to the National Research Council’s (NRC) Royalmount
vaccine production facility in Montreal.
The investment was suggested as part of a partnership with Chinese vaccine producer
CanSino Biologics in May to “support upgrades to the NRC’s facilities in Montreal
… to ensure readiness for Canadian bioprocessing of potential vaccine candidates as
they become available.” The facility was originally supposed to produce 250,000
vaccine doses by November.

Best? It is about access to vaccines in a timely fashion which your govt failed. You bank on China which failed. You then had to backpedal to work with other
biotech companies to secure dosage after the fact!

93. GDP / SEPT 2020
• Canada had a structural deficit of $13.9B heading into COVID19
• Economy needs policies that will encourage FDI and capital
investment
• Pass deficits did nothing for GDP. Post 2009 recession GDP was
running at 2.3% as compare to 2% under LPC

Next government will need to do the following:
• Place the Attorney-General outside of government within an independence section
• Ethics Commissioner should report to Parliament and not PMO
