I have sent it to the Ethics Commissioner, Irene, because I really believe in transparency. I believe in accountability. I can tell you with everything in me, the women who spoke today, these are the same women I have been trying to help.
When you take a look at the stats of the number of women who are in Parliament—we're at 22%—and you take a look at the number of ethnic women and then you break that down into young women, we don't have very many, and there's a reason for that.
I've championed initiatives in my own riding. I've created organizations to empower women to talk about domestic abuse. I've created a Brampton--Springdale Youth Advisory Council to empower youth, to give them a voice.
It is these women who I am trying to help, and have spent my whole career and sacrificed my life for. That is why, Irene, in closing, I have sent this to the Ethics Commissioner to prove, to ensure that for the sake of the truth that I, my office, my staff have never been used in any way, shape, or form. My brother was the employer. We have the expertise in our office to be able to assist people. Constituents come in with these concerns. An outside agency was called. So I hope the Ethics Commissioner is going to investigate this and my name will be cleared.
