Why is Justin Trudeau's decision to halt Parliament not causing more frustration, more outrage, more scrutiny, more oversight, more accountability? Why is it not causing outrage from the press, from members of the public, from the opposition, and from the Liberals themselves?

00:00:00.000 Why is Justin Trudeau's halting of Parliament justified?
00:00:09.000 Why is it not causing more frustration, more outrage from members of the press,
00:00:13.000 from people in the public, from the opposition even, from the NDP Jagmeet Singh,
00:00:17.000 who enabled us to get to the position we are right now?
00:00:20.000 You almost hear more outrage at the fact that Conservative opposition leader Andrew Scheer
00:00:24.000 has been suggesting these past couple months that Parliament does matter,
00:00:28.000 yes, we should, be gathering more than just 30 people, 30 MPs, in the House of Commons
00:00:33.000 for the occasional session, one that does not bring the same accountability.
00:00:38.000 We've recently heard from Finance Minister Bill Morneau that there will be no budget,
00:00:41.000 no economic update of the sort, because, well, things being as they are,
00:00:45.000 it's hard to tell how much is going in and how much is going out,
00:00:48.000 so we can't accurately predict the future, so what's the point?
00:00:51.000 I'm paraphrasing, but he said something not too dissimilar from all of that.
00:00:55.000 He did assure us that Parliamentarians, the Cabinet, that the Prime Minister himself
00:01:00.000 are regularly giving updates to the people.
00:01:02.000 Yes, they're giving their press conferences, their spin, their press releases, their tweets.
00:01:07.000 That is not the same as government accountability, and isn't now, this time period we're in,
00:01:12.000 this period, this pandemic, where the stakes are so high,
00:01:16.000 isn't that the time when you need oversight and scrutiny more than ever?
00:01:21.000 Now look, back during March, say, you could argue, back during early April,
00:01:26.000 you could argue, well, hold on a second, it's not safe, it's too dangerous for MPs
00:01:30.000 to be gathering in the House of Commons.
00:01:32.000 That's clearly been proven not to be accurate after the Prime Minister chose to go out
00:01:36.000 and join a protest, a very large gathering of thousands of people.
00:01:39.000 Surely, if they can make that work, they can make Parliament work right now.
00:01:44.000 But it's not going to happen unless people ask for it to happen.
00:01:47.000 Liberals are clearly quite content and satisfied with the way the status quo is going right now.
00:01:52.000 It's pretty easy for them.
00:01:53.000 They don't really have to worry about the pesky opposition as much as they used to.
00:01:58.000 So it's going to be up to the public, to the people, to make some noise and to say,
00:02:02.000 come on, we deserve better.
00:02:04.000 We deserve and we demand government accountability.
00:02:09.000 Thank you for youribility and yourite.
