Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister. The Quebec director general of elections, Mr. Pierre-F. Côté, has recognized yesterday that the Prime Minister and his ministers are not bound by the provisions of the Quebec Election Act, and those governing election expenses in particular. This means that the Prime Minister and his ministers can spend as much as they want during the election campaign without having to account for it, while other federal members of Parliament, including the Bloc Quebecois members, have to comply with the legislation.
My question is as follows: Does the Prime Minister undertake, on behalf of all the members of his government, to abide by the spirit of the Quebec Election Act during the next election campaign, as requested by the Quebec director general of elections, for the sake of democratic fairness?
