Mr. Speaker, the Liberal red book promised to restore integrity to our political institution. It promised a Liberal government would ensure codes of conduct were met and that conflict of interest would become a thing of the past.
Only 20 months later Canadians are wondering whether anyone in the House other than the hon. member for Notre-Dame-de-GrĂ¢ce remembers those promises, which he campaigned on, in the red book. If the government were serious about its election commitments the Minister of Canadian Heritage would be a thing of the past.
Why has the government again broken its red book promises to restore integrity to our political institutions?
