Mr. Speaker, the minister's pathetic rhetoric is absolutely appalling and an insult to the Canadian public.
We do not need an ethics counsellor to tell us that political interference on behalf of Tim Banks was wrong, that lobbying the commissioner of the RCMP and Correctional Service Canada on behalf of his brother's college was wrong, that violating Treasury Board guidelines for untendered contracts was wrong, and that giving a lucrative contract to his political pal and two-time official agent was wrong.
When will the Solicitor General finally do the right thing and resign?
