Mr. Speaker, it is sad that he is using a maple leaf as a fig leaf to hide the ethical abuse of the government.
Let us talk about the loopholes that the government is refusing to clean up.
Let us take the example of junkets. On the one hand, we have Liberals and Conservatives, and I think even the member for Thunder Bay—Superior North, travelling on an expensive junket on the dime of a mining giant. On the other hand, an MP might take a phone call from an environmental group, for example, and yet on the lobbyist registry those very different actions are treated the same.
Therefore, it is not a question about the travel here. The question is why will they not close the loopholes for this kind of backroom dealing?
