Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to talk to a motion like this since I was one of those people personally involved in some of the bad dealings that happened after the election.
Of course, the hon. member for Kingston and the Islands says these are only isolated cases so why bother. That is not what this is about. This whole issue is about accountability.
I know that some members on the other side may have a problem with that issue. We do not have a problem talking about this in the House of Commons. Accountability is something everybody in this land has to live with, particularly members of the House of Commons.
I wonder if the government members are going to listen to this. After all they do have a majority government. We found out today that the Bloc will support our member's motion, and I am sure the vast majority of colleagues, all of the Reform colleagues, will support it as well.
In talking about accountability and assets belonging to the taxpayer the question is: When it comes to a vote next week on Wednesday or Thursday, how will the government members vote on this issue? Will they find a very small technicality? Will they find as the member for Kingston and the Islands says, that perhaps this is not really as bad as we think? Will they say that since it is not that bad they will vote it down? Or, will they say that perhaps there is an issue of accountability and perhaps therefore they should vote for it? That remains to be seen.
