Madam Speaker, if I understand correctly, we are speaking of the 1988 election of Mr. Lucien Bouchard, when he was in the Conservative party. Is that indeed what we are speaking of?
It is quite possible that things were going on within the Conservative party of the time, as there are within the Liberal party.
Mr. Bouchard has changed, unlike the hon. member for Bourassa, who ran against me in 1990. It took him three or four tries to get himself elected here. I remember when he was passing himself off as the reincarnation of Jean-Claude Malépart, over the Malépart family's objections.
Returning to the matter of financial institutions, all of the Bloc Quebecois' reports have been tabled in this House. Banks have never been shown to be supporters of the Bloc Quebecois. That is public knowledge.
Moreover, when the reports will have been submitted for this campaign—I do not have them myself, since they were all completed on October 2 and we have until December 31—my colleague will be able to see for himself that the Bloc's rules apply.
However, let us not confuse matters. There may have been loans against a line of credit, but that is not a donation. It is something very different, and I can tell you that the loans are being paid back. Such accounting details may be too complicated for my colleague for Bourassa, however.
