We know that the Liberals promised Canadians a responsible, accountable, transparent government, but they looked like a bunch of Conservatives in committee today. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4267972\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Canadians are angry about the KPMG affair and the Panama papers, and the <a data-HoCid=\"214329\" href=\"/politicians/diane-lebouthillier/\" title=\"Diane Lebouthillier\">Minister of National Revenue</a> owes them an explanation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4267973\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Why is the minister refusing to step up and explain to Canadians and the committee the difference between her statements in the House and the KPMG affair and the facts that have been revealed?</p>",
