Thank you, Mr. Chair. The reason why I am listing a number of examples is that I did not have an opportunity to do it during the discussions. I planned to mention all these examples, I planned to do it this afternoon, but now the opposition would like to interrupt this discussion so that the public will not know the information I have to present.
I am going to quote Michel Guimond, who said, and I quote, [TRANSLATION] "When there is an election campaign, the national expenses are borne by the candidates collectively." That is taken from an article in Le Soleil, published on December 22, 2001. What he is saying is that the Bloc Québécois admitted transferring expenses to local candidates to inflate the refund and avoid the national limit on their campaign. I have the documents to prove it.
This is not even a discussion that concerns us; we are not denying transferring expenses to local candidates. That is what we are accused of, but when it comes to the Bloc, it is admitted. The Bloc admits doing it.
