Mr. Speaker, we have trouble right here in Ottawa city; that starts with t and it rhymes with e and that spells ethics.
All this week the Reform Party has been asking the Prime Minister to direct the ethics counsellor to investigate the Canada Post building contract and the influence of Jose Perez and political officials in the tendering process. The Prime Minister has refused our request on the grounds that these events took place under a previous administration.
How would an investigation of the postal building contract differ from the investigation of the Pearson airport contract which also took place under a previous administration?
