I will absolutely give the relevance to this, because as I mentioned earlier in speaking to this motion, it appears that the motion of Madam Redman is the next in a long list of attempts by the Liberal Party to create a scandal where none exists.
I was pointing out that the Karlheinz Schreiber and Brian Mulroney example is just one of the many examples they're using time and time again to try to create something to embarrass the government for their own political reasons. That's all this is. If it weren't, Chair, I would submit to you that if they were absolutely pure in their motives, they would have no difficulty in accepting the motion I brought forward.
Again, I will repeat, we could immediately begin the examination of our books as long as the opposition parties would agree that an examination of their own advertising practices and an examination of their own books from previous elections be done at the same time. We could do this today. We could start bringing a witness list forward. We could start determining exactly how we are going to do it.
It makes perfect sense to most Canadians that, as they contend, if there is nothing wrong with the practices in which they have engaged in elections past, then they should not fear having an examination of their books. Why wouldn't they have an examination of their books?
