I think it's important that we have a real honest look at this amendment. One of the things the Conservative Party has always said is that our practices have been in full conformity with the law. They follow the spirit of the law, they follow the letter of the law, and they're in accordance with the practices of other parties. I think this is a key point, that they are in accordance with the practices of other parties.
I believe the Liberals would be the first to say, although it's hard to believe, that this is not a partisan attack, that their motion is not partisan at all. They want to have a fair and equitable look at what happened in the last election. If this is true, then let's open the books of our party and let's open the books of the Liberal Party in 2004 and 2006. What we'll see is that when we state in fact that our actions have been in accordance with the actions of other parties, we will in fact find that. I think it's an important distinction. I think this is worthy of debate and it should be supported by my fellow members around the table.
