Under cover of cynicism

Following up on this morning's post, it wouldn't be at all surprising if at least part of the Cons' goal in announcing their new policy of full executive control over answers to Parliamentary committees is to make use of the aura of "they're all the same" surrounding the issue of MP expense audits to try to grab a bit more room for the government to operate outside the public eye. But that should only create an incentive for both the NDP and the Libs to push for accountability in both areas, while leaving Harper and his party as the lone group arguing for secrecy.
