Ethics  Speaker, there is no proof to support that allegation. The hon. member is now just starting to throw mud without any facts whatsoever. The senator herself has said that is not correct. I am not aware on what basis he is saying that, but when I look at the NDP I remember the old saying, “the more we throw mud, the more we lose ground”.

Ethics  When the Leader of the Opposition starts tarnishing the names of people who face no allegations whatsoever, I am reminded once again of the old saying, “When you throw mud, you lose ground”.

Ethics  Nevertheless, he gets up and makes the allegation, which is why, as Canadians look at him and see him throwing mud, he is losing ground.

Ethics  Duffy are responsible and are being held accountable, but once again, that tactic reminds me, whenever I look at the NDP, of the old saying: “when you throw mud, you lose ground”.

Ethics  However, Canada’s performance exceeds that of many other countries and the government's measures are well-supported by Canadians and even the vast majority of provincial governments. That question reminds me of the old saying that when you throw mud, you lose ground.

Elections Canada  The Leader of the Opposition has lost ground. He has thrown away his ground on all his issues. Now he is just throwing mud.
