Joe Oliver even misses the vote on his own Budget!
The Finance Minister is supposed to be the government's leading spokesperson on all economic matters -- most ...especially the Budget.
The Finance Minister is supposed to be the government's leading spokesperson on all economic matters -- most ...especially the Budget.
But right after he delivered it last week, Mr. Oliver blundered into a foolish comment about leaving economic risks to our grandchildren to solve, and he's been benched ever since.
He has failed to answer any questions in Parliament. He hasn't even shown up for Question Period. And tonight, he wasn't even allowed to be in the Commons to participate in the budget vote.
This reconfirms what many people suspected when Stephen Harper selected Mr. Oliver to replace Jim Flaherty last year. Mr. Harper wants a Yes-Man in that role who will simply do his bidding without question or value-added.
Too bad for Canada.
