What I'm discussing, Mr. Chair, is why the Liberals would back away from an amendment that asked them to open their books. One of the points I made was that we have said in the House, and we have said outside the House, and we've said here in committee that our election financing practices are in accordance with the practices of other parties. This is important: they are in accordance with the practices of other parties. I then went on to ask the question why the Liberals would back away from an amendment like this. If they want to be open with Canadians, the Liberals should in fact open their books and say, yes, the Liberals have nothing to hide either.
One of the reasons I'm putting forward, Mr. Chair, is that of hypocrisy. To show hypocrisy, I'm pointing out what happened in the House in the last two weeks alone. There was the greeting card attack by the Liberal Party, and the very Liberal member who was leading the attack in the House of Commons had herself sent out the same greeting cards to constituents.
Then, if you'll remember, more hypocrisy--
