    Default Not so Open and Transparent

    Remember when the Village Idiot promised his would be an 'Open and Transparent Government' . We all knew that was going to be a lie..

    Senior political staffers from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office and the office of another federal Liberal cabinet minister privately discussed how to withhold information from Canadians about the government’s response to the COVID-19 crisis last June, newly released emails show.

    The correspondence details part of what was going on behind the scenes as Liberal staffers prepared for announcements and anticipated public scrutiny and criticism. It also suggests that the government was concerned about its ability to procure desperately needed supplies and wanted to ensure as much flexibility as possible.

    In one email exchange, a senior staffer from the Prime Minister’s Office said the government could be held accountable for announcements about billions of dollars in public spending if it provided too many details.

    “Would say that there are several factors that we may want to consider with respect to the level of detail for the announcement,” wrote a senior policy director for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in an email sent on June 4 to a Trudeau speechwriter.

    “A detailed announcement [would] mean that the government could be held accountable to show that funds were spent exactly as announced (reducing flexibility to move money across buckets if necessary).”

    The email goes on to detail a more generic approach to the wording of the announcement, which related to the government’s purchase of roughly $4-billion worth of medical and personal protective supplies, including N95 masks, medical gowns, gloves and “vital ICU equipment.”

    According to the email, the more generic approach to the announcement was recommended by the Privy Council Office, which is made up of Canada’s top bureaucrats who work closely with the Prime Minister’s Office to implement government policy.

    What he meant was an open and transparent government when it benefits him and his party.
