My Opinion

Hehe, perhaps the system is turning me into a very suspicious person. If the presence of the Hon. Mr. Reid as the Information Commissioner is appropriate, if appointed by the Grits, then why is the presence of Dr. Shapiro not appropriate, in the opinion of the current Government of Canada? I cannot help but to continue to question the ethics of the Prime Minister. He seems to be, in my opinion, nothing more than a hypocrite — as is true with both of the Commissioners, they were appointed under the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada, and both received the consent of the House of Commons.

Should it not be both, or none?
