Mr. Speaker, now they are attacking the ethics counsellor, who appeared before the House committee to clarify his position and his actions.
They cannot attack the Minister of Finance on what he has done. I checked; as far as I could see, they have put only one question on the economy since the House reconvened. They are trying to destroy the Minister of Finance.
Again, the Minister of Finance is a man of integrity and honesty, who has the confidence of the Prime Minister. He will make an excellent budget speech today and this smear campaign will not take away from his merit.
