PMO is fully responsible for this. Trudeau even apologized. I just hope inviting this literal Nazi to a diplomatic event doesn’t water down JT’s ability to call people who disagree with him Nazis. That’s his favorite thing to do, poor guy
It sounds like you hate JT, which is fine, whatever. But from a protocol point of view, it really isn’t on PMO.
The speaker’s position, by design, doesn’t report to the PMO - it’s a separate office responsible for decorum and protocol in the house (in theory it’s supposed to represent a higher ideal, and really not do much other then maintain order). As I understand it, speakers have a dedicated number of gallery seats they can fill, they just report it to some protocol/generic planning office. But they’re responsible for their invitees.
That’s why the speaker apologized for his actions, and emphasized it was his initiative. And PM apologized to the world on behalf of Canada, but not for any part he took in it. Opposition leader is making a very aggresive campaign to make Trudeau look bad, but that’s politics for you. Seems like it’s working, if I may say :P
Actually I don’t hate JT, I just hate how he has executed the duties of his office.
Also it appears that I was wrong, PMO is apparently responsible for security checks not background checks, but I can’t even find the source that led me astray in the first place.
