Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Quebecois' decision to force the BQ member for Drummond to pay back corporate donations accepted during the last election campaign is, to say the least, questionable.
How can the Bloc justify demanding that this MP pay back donations received from corporations when the Bloc never applied the same rule to itself? What difference do the righteous separatists from the Bloc Quebecois make between corporate donations and the $153,048 received from the Parti Quebecois in 1993-94?
Would they have us believe that the Bloc Quebecois is less likely to be influenced by the PQ than by a small business in Drummondville?
The Bloc Quebecois is so obsessed with saving face in this fundraising issue that it is losing its mind.
