Mr. Speaker, I always wondered what Pontius Pilate looked like in the praetorium. I think we saw that this afternoon. I will say no more.
We heard the hon. member making groundless accusations against us when he ought to have been defending Quebec. We are politicians in the House and our actions are political. We do not have to be ashamed of it, since we are paid for that. The hon. member boasts about the integrity of his government. It is not because one says that one is honest that one is, but because one acts honestly.
It is true that the population elected Liberals. Very often, it is because people did not have a real choice. When people had one, in Quebec, they elected the members of the Bloc Quebecois.
