Madam Speaker, the entertainment just does not end. He talks about the link that I was trying to make between bringing back respect to the office and this idea of fundraising and linking partisan party activities. This was not my letter. This says “Liberal fax transmission from Jean Chrétien to Terry Mercer, National Director, Liberal Party of Canada”, and it says Prime Minister's office at the top. So the link has been made. It was not made by me. It was made by the prime minister, the PMO having absolutely direct political party activities begging for money for the campaign. I think it is wrong.
In the House of Commons on October 9th, 1997. See this statement in context.
