As your Member of Parliament and a member of the Official Opposition, part of my job is to scrutinize the government’s legislation, spending, and decisions. I use two tools to get information the government doesn’t volunteer:

• Access to Information requests (ATIPs), which require federal departments and agencies to release internal documents and data.
• Order Paper Questions, which are written questions to the government for detailed or technical information that can’t be answered in Question Period. The government is required to respond in writing.

This information belongs to the public. You can read my questions and the government’s responses on the House of Commons website.
