From the CBC:
Another section of the act hints that an inquiry might be called into the spending practices of a past Liberal government.
An independent adviser will be appointed for six months to look at public opinion surveying commissioned while former prime minister Jean Chretien was in charge, before November 2003, "and determine whether further action, such as a judicial inquiry, is required."
OK, the prime minister wants to get a sense of how the citizens of this country feel about an issue. Isn't that what members of parliament are for? Or am I missing something here?
