Mr. Speaker, in my six years as an MP I have seen government patronage and corruption at its very worst. I listened to Liberal howls of outrage and calls for integrity, competence and honour when they were in opposition. Now they are sitting on the other side of the House and of course the tune has changed. This government is showing the same arrogance as its predecessor and it thinks that popularity polls can justify patronage appointments, backroom deals and political payoffs.
My question for the Prime Minister is why the double standard? If Roch LaSalle resigned, why will not his minister?
