On the point of order--this relates to the point of order--we have here a motion that concludes that there are allegations that don't actually exist. The allegations that are referred to in this motion have not been made anywhere. Nobody has made these allegations. It makes reference to allegations that don't actually exist. No one would make such allegations, because they know that they would not stand up in a court. In fact, there are no allegations at all against the Conservative Party.
We are the plaintiff. The Conservatives are taking Elections Canada to court--not the other way around--because we are right. In fact, we are going to be depositing all of the financial records of our campaign. We'll be putting all of that out in the open, and we're going to have a very public examination of how we finance our electoral operations.
What is very fascinating, though, is that the Liberal Party and the Bloc Québécois will not do the same thing. I'd be interested to hear if the NDP would be willing to open up its books. But so far, I see a bunch of opposition parties not willing to stand up to the same principles as they would like to thrust upon others and the same principles as we ourselves have already agreed to uphold.
We could solve the problem of Mr. Reid's point of order if the opposition would just agree, right now, to change the wording so as to have an examination of all of their books for the last two elections, both 2004 and 2006. So far we haven't seen that. I will be very interested to see if they will change their minds. They don't look very happy with the suggestion right now.
