Conservative MPs furious after e-mails show federal officials worked on ways not to answer their questions

Federal public servants worked on ways not to answer directly opposition MPs’ parliamentary questions, admitting that doing so raised a communication risk, internal government documents obtained under access to information show.

Civil servants in the Natural Resources Department recommended the use of “limitation language” to answer the written Commons questions from Conservative and NDP MPs, internal e-mails show.

The good news is most civil service positions can be replaced by a small chip upgrade to toaster ovens.
