Summary

CP conducted itself with great unprofessionalism over the weekend in regurgitating a false tweet from a liberal minister to politicize Truth and Reconciliation Day. I think it's unfortunate that CP would allow itself to be used in this way.

00:00:00.000 Before I go any further, I think, you know, CP is here today.
00:00:03.400 CP conducted itself with great unprofessionalism over the weekend
00:00:08.400 in regurgitating a false tweet from a liberal minister
00:00:12.500 to politicize Truth and Reconciliation Day.
00:00:17.500 Really unfortunate that CP would allow itself to be used in this way.
00:00:22.000 The reason we didn't put the pictures of that ceremony
00:00:24.800 is because based on their traditional custom,
00:00:28.200 photography is not allowed.
00:00:30.400 And so, out of respect for them, we did not photograph that ceremony.
00:00:34.700 Instead, we photographed other Inuit leaders
00:00:38.300 and an Inuit knowledge keeper in particular who was present
00:00:42.000 and who also participated in the Algonquin ceremony.
00:00:46.100 I think CP should stop acting as the communications arm of the PMO.
