Mr. Speaker, it has been quite a week. What has become crystal clear to Canadians is that this government has sacrificed its integrity on the altar of political expediency.
Not only did the Minister of Canadian Heritage violate existing guidelines for ministers, albeit a watered down version of Tory guidelines, the Prime Minister failed Canadians by not firing the minister. He compounded his failure with a story a day.
How can the Deputy Prime Minister claim with a straight face that this government will restore integrity to any of our political institutions?
