Mr. Speaker, this is a government that tells us, under the premise of their whole argument on the bill and on these sets of amendments, to trust it with this $30 billion and it will be applied to the debt. That is what the member for Mississauga West said earlier and what other members of the government have said throughout the debate on the bill.
This is a government that wants people to trust it with the dollars they send to Ottawa but, as I have just pointed out, the dollars have been wasted. If the government wants people to believe that it is serious about applying $30 billion which is indicated in Bill C-78 and the accountability measures mentioned in the amendments that are before us—many of them brought forward by my colleague for St. Albert—it would look at these amendments.
Instead, we hear members of the government rising on points of order and trying to stop debate when things get a little dicey in terms of its record. It must defend that record because it is the government. It is our job as opposition members to point out the record of the government. If government members do not want to hear that, they do not have to be here to listen to it.
Members from the NDP, the Reform Party, the Bloc and the Progressive Conservative Party will continue to point out the government's failure in its fiscal responsibility before the people of Canada and in the House. This is a clear example of a waste of taxpayers' dollars. I would like to challenge any Liberal member from that side to stand up and defend the expenditure of $55,000 on the production of a pornographic film.
