Neutrality isn't the issue. Harper wants to control what Canadians hear. That includes not hearing criticism of his parties policies, and not hearing from senior members of his government except in a carefully controlled environment. Doesn't he trust his own party members enough to speak to the National media?
I guess I'm not as comfortable as you with leaving the decision of who can ask questions and what questions can be asked to one man. Simply put, Harper is trying to control the news media and what news Canadians hear.
Freedom of the press? Apparently not in Canada.
