Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer is calling for the Liberals to be more transparent about their response to the COVID-19 crisis.

He wants the government to release all its data on the spread of the novel coronavirus and its implications, as well provide regular updates with facts and figures on the stockpile of supplies, the availability of hospital beds, and other response measures.

Scheer also called for the daily briefings from the prime minister and government ministers to start looking more like statements in the House of Commons. "Rigorous scrutiny and accountability ensures that the right decisions are made on behalf of Canadians."

Well well well smilin Scheer wants more oversight. How about for once not making this political. We are all in this together. Smarten up!

This guy needs to learn from the Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario, as to what a Leader should be.

Scheer = 🤢🤮

Put on your newest suit(bought with party funds) climb inside your minivan (bought with party funds) and just drive off Andy... Plz

Government being guided by evidence? Well mix a little common sense with that and make masks, face coverings of any kind mandatory and will help flatten the curve more! wearadammask

Ahhh.. Justin Trudeau has gotten more news coverage ( air time - due to Covid) than little Andrew Scheer. Lots and lots of it. Quite probably a record amount, in fact. Is little Andrew Scheer jealous? Aren’t you leaving? AndrewScheer JustinTrudeau

Trying to keep his name in the news. Go play at nice.

That’s rich coming from this fucking guy

Like where the rest of the “essential” workers on the list are to obtain PPE from? Other than healthcare who are allowed to order it and receive it albeit they’re low too - I am unable to get masks anywhere for my husband who is a truck driver. No sanitizer either.

Mr. Corrupt

Can he just go away.

What is the new minivan

this american stole from his own party

Why are you wasting time on Scheer?

My god have you been told today?

And who cares what this guy says?

What about all the money he took ... will u cover that .. hmmm 🙃😳

Like the type of oversight to prevent the purchase of a mini van, clothing and payment of school fees by a corrupt politician?

Oversight? Or is that just a euphemism for Obstruction?

‘Andrew Scheer billed the Conservative party for his kids’ private Catholic school, private security, an extra housekeeper, his minivan and clothes for his family, a party review of the outgoing leader’s spending has concluded.’ Uhh...and your level of moral authority is what?

Canadians call for more oversight of Scheer!

Havent you left yet. Why Trump wont accept you you have US citizenship you hid from voters among other things

I’d like more oversight for the party money AndrewScheer pocketed for private schools, chauffeurs and a minivan. cdnpoli onpoli abpoli COVID19

He's not about to pitch in and help, that's for sure.

Like trusting a fox to roam the hen house unfettered is a really bad idea, allowing unchecked, free-reign control to the pathological liar Turdeau, & the LiberalEgoManiac's corrupt & irresponsible GongShow of liberal accomplices to do right by our interests would be STUPID!

Super funny, since the conservatives have never been transparent. Didn’t they ban journalists from asking questions I’m sure my head is in the sand or something again! Yay for political posturing in a crisis!

Zero respect for him now

ANDY.....SHUT UP!

Yeah, don't want any oversight on his personal expenses!

Kind of rich coming from him. 🙄

Why in fuck can't Trudeau (and other parties) work together on this? ALL MP'S regardless of party, represent the people of Canada in the area they were elected. All committees formed to seal with this crisis should be made up of all parties, as much as possible.

Just stop it and get together... Team Canada is not a one man job... deal with rest after... you don’t like it... win next time...

Perhaps there needs to be more oversight of politicians who rip-off money from their political party coffers, eh? Thief hypocrite

Nobody cares what you think...

No one will listen to you until you return the money you took.

No one cares what he has to say.....Scheer has no shame and his words are meaningless. Stop interviewing him for god's sake......he's a danger to Canadians.

tory_wiggins Sounds good get those open borders closed and International Flights canceled with proper testing at airports.👍The Liberal enhanced screening was de-bunked and is nothing more than part of his word salad to make him look competent.

This is a time of unity, not finger pointing AndrewScheer. Canada didn’t vote for you. Get over it. Put your big boy pants on and find a way to help.

How about more oversight on your personal expenses AndrewScheer ? Leave everyone alone and let the rest of us work collectively together as Canadians !

ScheerIsAPig

You gonna be over site!? Your conservative cronies!? What power you got!?

Let's oversee his expense records

He is currently holding up money that Canadians need until he gets to Ottawa and tries to delay it even more. Maybe he and his selected cronies need to move back to Ottawa so that parliament can be recalled on short notice.

Does the conservatives have a mask policy?

Someone should have had more oversight over this entitled, sneaky embezzler. AndrewScheer

Sigh! Really? He’s doing a great job, didn’t you get the point before? You’re not going to be leader because you’re so negative! Just lay off! I was so thankful when we didn’t have to hear from you anymore. Just stop with the negativity! wheresyourfaith

Says that who used public funds to pay for his kid's school. GTFO

Give him a caravan already, the mini-van can't hold his hot air.

How about some more oversight into his spending?

Does he not have advisors to save him from himself? Good grief!

Queue AndrewScheer whining about parliament being recalled yet again.

What response? They have been behind EVERY COUNTRY and no response but reactions too late...

It would mean something if he had not corrupted himself with his lack of oversight

Suddenly we like oversight.

TrudeauLiedPeopleDied TrudeauMustGo

The guy that took money from the party he is supposed to be leader of wants oversight. Maybe your parties former ethics guy that went to prison is available! ScheerConMan

According to the facts, the current government had had a chance to prevent this virus outbreaks by admitting this severity of this crisis at the time the outbreaks occurred in China. Two top women from Federal government should take accountability!!!

Here is another low IQ politician!

Yeah—from a guy who misappropriates funds from everywhere. Not someone who should be calling anyone out.

To everybody in this thread who thinks Scheer needs to disappear here are some questions: do you understand how your system works? Do you know what the leader of the official opposition means? I don't like him either, but he has a job to do, and is actually doing it

Too bad we couldn’t see this as you did not show it! SHAME ON YOU!

Wonder who paid for his suit

Maybe he should have more oversight on his own expenses...

It's long overdue for the federal government to make it mandatory that anyone out in public must wear a protective mask. No exceptions.

Sheer needs to take a seat. He’s irrelevant

Of course he’d more like more oversight...on other people’s affairs, not his own

Shit or get off the pot, Andy! Time for you to show you are a leader, and not a wimp.

what Scheer calls 'oversight', the rest of us call 'wanting his finger in the pie' or 'wants to ensure the money is directed to his friends' - the term 'friends' is used loosely here also. 'Friends' to conservatives are people you owe or owe you money.

It doesn't matter what anybody thinks of Scheer now. If the media won't do its job, who will? Has anybody heard a peep out of Jagmeet Singh in over a month?

Scheer..... just go away!

Really? Hes got some nerve !! goaway

Nobody cares what Scheer calls for, he's irrelevant.

Didn’t we fire this guy?

oversight ... like on his expenses

Please just fade into the sunset.

He should know about oversight.....!!

I just came here to say everything that’s already been said.

rexglacer Unfortunate for Canadians that Andrew Scheer isn't in the Prime Minsters Office right now to properly lead us through this crisis. Instead we have TrudeauTheCoward hiding under his bed like a scared whimpering child!

It’s amazing how bent out of shape people get. Spitting all over their monitors while bitching about someone on their way out.

Just go away already Yankee Doodle Andy!

Ironic.

ctvqp Just go away Howdy Doody

Shut up now

I'm always for transparency in government - that said it goes both ways... the Federal Conservatives and UCP are the last ones to volunteer information about their own activities...

ctvqp AndrewScheer is “ready to be part of a Team Canada approach” ?!?!?! Now you are? Really? Nice of you to finally show up. Vast majority of people don’t take you seriously. Step aside & get an interim leader CPC_HQ

rexglacer Now Trudeau

It seems everyone in Canada is going to bat for Team Canada except for the PC’s. I for one will remember this come election time. They got Mackay worrying about a leadership race. Honestly, is the PC leadership race on anybody else’s mine right now?

Hang up your skates

Screw him 🙄🙄 He's the LAST person who should be squawking about oversight on anyone else. Seems that HE'S the one who needs oversight, grifting crook.

Sheer needs to STFU...love how hes trying to deflect the fact that hes a failure and a criminal who fraudulently uses his position for person gain..

At this point in time Mr Scheer I think that it would serve you best to assist in the effort of fighting this pandemic instead of just launching jabs. Yes I’m a conservative but we are all in this together after all.

ctvqp Team Trudeau have bungled things from the beginning so more oversight is a very good idea.

ctvqp Similar to the oversight CPC_HQ donors had on how AndrewScheer spent money on himself from the party fund? Hypocrisy. cdnpoli

Let me weigh in by simply stating instead of lashing out (because of partisan politics)when you dont agree with what the Federal Government is doing in a Pandemic which the WORLD hasn’t seen since the Spanish Flu, Explain to us how you would handle it.

And yet if the Conservatives were in power, AndrewScheer would be withholding the same information he's trying to get. Leave it to CPC_HQ to demand information that they'd refuse to provide.

COVID-19 emergency checkpoints strain long-standing free movement between provinces‘By limiting entry and exit, public health authorities believe they can further limit and prevent the spread of COVID-19’ Quebec has the most number of confirmed cases, but then they block the entry of people from Ontario. They should do the opposite : restrict the exit of Quebecs to other provinces, which can help reduce the spread of the virus. Time for the separation of the WEST. No more free movement between provinces but Canadian borders that are open caused no concerns?!?!?!
