Mr. Speaker, I listened with interest to the member for Ahuntsic. I think that, had she had a few more minutes, she might have convinced me of what she was saying.
Unfortunately, she fools no one here. Even the Liberals on the other side of the House do not agree on the figures. Earlier, the member for Ottawa Centre said on this subject that there had been a minor fraud or that there was an imbalance of $2,500. The hon. member just said it was $6,500.
I would ask the hon. member, who values the work of the member, and I am well aware of that, if she is comfortable with the 20 criminal investigations currently being conducted by the RCMP. How is it that these investigations are not in the ridings of the members of the opposition, but are nearly all concentrated in the ridings of the members of the government?
I understand that they must represent their electors and must give them satisfaction, but, when they do so out of the employment fund solely for the benefit of their constituents and to the detriment of the population as a whole, which has contributed to the fund and which never benefits from it because it did not vote for this gang, where do their morals lie in this case? This is my question for the hon. member.
