Mr. Speaker, we are not talking cash or contributions, we are talking contracts which arise out of those fundraisers.
The Liberals in opposition would have demanded the resignation of the Minister of Canadian Heritage. I watched them and they would have demanded it for sure. Their disgust and outrage would have echoed through these hallowed halls and in the press. The Liberals in government however dismiss the minister's dinner for dollars as harmless and then they send out the spin doctors to minimize the damage. Brian Mulroney must be smiling as he watches this as he may soon be appointed the Liberals' patron saint.
Will the Prime Minister do the right thing, the honourable thing which happened years ago and ask the minister to resign?
