Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister will know from history books that the Liberal Party evolved from a group of reformers in pre-Confederation days who fought against the family compact, a closely knit group of elites, many of them related to each other, who subverted responsible government to protect and advance their personal and collective interests.
If the Prime Minister is really committed to integrity, surely he does not want to allow such a clique to develop around his government.
My question is very simple. How does the Prime Minister propose to prevent the formation and activities of this Liberal family compact, la clique du château libéral, from undermining the integrity of his administration?
