Surprise, surprise

Let's see how the first test of the Cons' New Era of Ministerial Accountability is working out:

Ms. Oda’s spokeswoman, Jessica Fletcher, said in a e-mail that the minister wouldn't comment on the contents of the briefing notes.

Requests for an interview with CIDA representatives went unanswered.

But don't worry: the Cons will surely find their commitment to ministerial responsibility again just in time for the next photo op.
