It would be a lonely life without coming to committee Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Let's go to the topic of the motion. It's important that we get there. We have said many times, and I believe Mr. Lukiwski read into the record during his conversation last Thursday or last Tuesday, one or the other, many cases of what is being suggested we investigate. Many cases of it being done by members of all of the parties represented in this room. This is not a case that has only been done by the Conservative Party.
First of all, under rules and regulations by Elections Canada, the transfer of funds from--I'm sorry, I thought maybe I was missing something, and that may still be the case, but that wasn't the issue--federal parties to riding associations and back is a common occurrence during election campaigns. Mr. Lukiwski read into the record last week, on either Tuesday or Thursday, many occasions of that happening, and even occasions of members opposite; even occasions of members of all the opposition parties. He also spoke at length about the rules pertaining to election advertising. That election advertising was based on, “Could it be local, could it be regional, could it be national?”
I'll put on my hat from my previous career, as a marketing person for one of the major fast food companies.
