Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member sitting next to me for her clear demonstration. It was very instructive and we can see that her experience as a teacher is now useful when time comes to give very clear examples.
I really liked the comparison she made with Ginn Publishing. Whereas the Pearson Airport situation is the doing of the previous administration, the Ginn Publishing matter is the responsibility of this government but, in both cases, we see the same pattern of unclear behaviour which maintains the behind-the-scene influence of the lobbyists. I would like my colleague for Rimouski-Témiscouata to give us more details about the changes to the financing of political parties that would be needed to correct this situation.
In a sense, this reminds us a little of what may have happened in Quebec before 1976, particularly during the first two terms under Robert Bourassa, that is from 1970 to 1976, when questionable practices were common.
We had people somehow similar to those mentioned in the speech. In Quebec, Desrochers, for example, was maybe the type of person to do that kind of work.
Quebec managed to break free from such practices thanks in particular to the way Mr. René Lévesque revised the financing of political parties. I would like my colleague to clarify for us the ways to eliminate the questionable relationship between governments and lobbyists.
