Queensway Carleton Hospital  Mr. Speaker, the member raises three points and I will respond to them one by one. First, he raised the case of the Ottawa Hospital. Of course I made the point that no hospital was being charged rent by the federal government. I did not comment on the municipalities arrangement.

Queensway Carleton Hospital  moved: That, in the opinion of this House, the government should consider transferring the land currently leased by the Queensway-Carleton Hospital from the National Capital Commission to the Hospital at a cost of one dollar. Mr. Speaker, it is often that we rise in this House to discuss matters of important national character.

Civil Marriage Act  Mr. Speaker, at least the hon. member is honest. I respect that. Across the floor we have, on the other hand, a group of members of Parliament who claim to oppose gay marriage, who stand up in their constituencies, who rail against it in church halls, who go out and try to win votes because of their opposition--alleged opposition--to this particular legislation.

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, exclusively out of respect for the Speaker and for the rules of this place, I withdraw any language that may have referred to a member of the other place in a negative way.

Points of Order  Mr. Speaker, I understand that this is a very touchy issue for members of the government, after all the public works minister has admitted on two occasions that his Liberal colleagues actually broke the law. The point I am making is this and after making this point--

Government Contracts  Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates adopted a motion forcing the government to impose fines in connection with the rental scandal. The Liberals broke the law by paying millions of dollars in rent for an empty building. Is the Prime Minister going to force his Liberal buddy to pay up or is he going to sweep one more Liberal scandal under the rug?

Government Contracts  Mr. Speaker, that same public works minister admitted that his Liberal friend broke the law. He admitted it twice even though he does not admit it now. Now our Commons committee wants that law enforced and wants those fines paid. The only question that remains here is whether the government is going to cover up this scandal or whether it is going to enforce the law and ensure that Liberal lawbreaker pays his fines.

Canada Health Act  moved for leave to introduce Bill C-414, An Act to prevent the Government of Canada from charging rent to non-profit hospitals. Mr. Speaker, this private member's bill would institute the principle in law that the federal government should not charge rent to our community hospitals.

Eastern Ontario  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal Party must really have it in for us folks here in eastern Ontario. First, the Prime Minister shortchanged Ottawa and other Ontario municipalities to pay for an enhanced deal for Toronto. Ottawa, including its suburban and rural communities, should get the same number of infrastructure dollars per capita as Toronto.

An Act to Authorize the Minister of Finance to make Certain Payments  Mr. Speaker, the hon. member spoke rather eloquently about Liberal theft, Liberal corruption, Liberal bribery and Liberal fraud, all of which have been a great cost to Canadian taxpayers. He is right. I would like to ask him about what I believe will prove to be one of the most spectacular acts of government waste the government will ever engage in, and that is saying something.

An Act to authorize the Minister of Finance to make certain payments  Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, the member repeatedly directed his comments straight over to the member over here without going through the Chair. We would urge all members to follow the Standing Orders and direct their comments through the Chair.

An Act to Authorize the Minister of Finance to make Certain Payments  Madam Speaker, I must really be on a roll if they are trying to interrupt me constantly. I am going to get right to the heart of the matter. This is a quarter billion dollar interest free loan to a nearly bankrupt American airline company, Delta. The Liberals gave a quarter billion dollar loan to Delta Airlines in exchange for a promise that it would purchase Bombardier jets.

An Act to Authorize the Minister of Finance to make Certain Payments  Madam Speaker, I will draw my line in the sand. In fact, I will make a deal with this group of Liberals. I will stop calling them thieves when they stop stealing. That party has a record of corruption--

An Act to Authorize the Minister of Finance to make Certain Payments  Madam Speaker, we speak regularly on this side of the House, and quite rightly, about Liberal corruption, Liberal theft, Liberal fraud. We have to repeat ourselves often because that is often the only discussion item generated from that side of the House. This evening I am going to venture into some different territory.

An Act to Authorize the Minister of Finance to make Certain Payments  It's worse. This time they gave, this is the anti-American Liberal Party, a quarter of a billion dollar loan to a nearly bankrupt American airline company. They gave nearly a quarter of a billion dollar loan to--
