Mr. Speaker, again, we have one after another of imaginary scandals. They are all imaginary because they are about Conservatives. The fact is, this is a clean government.
This is a government that brought in the toughest Federal Accountability Act, with measures that put to an end the kind of practices we used to see, whether it be the sponsorship scandal, deep in the trough patronage, the kind of unfortunate politics of the old era.
In 2006 the page was turned. Canada has a new government that does what it says it will do, delivers credible, capable appointments, respects the law and simply does not spend time dwelling on scandals.
