Mr. Speaker, not only has the ethics counsellor frequently appeared before parliamentary committees but also, as the hon. member knows, in the British parliamentary system--for which those members have very little respect; they prefer the American congressional system--the conduct of ministers is the responsibility of the Prime Minister.
We have listened to those members in election campaigns. They were going to do away with parliamentary pensions. They thought that Stornoway should be turned into a bingo hall. They did not believe that the leader of their party should have a car and a driver. They did not believe in a whole lot of things and once they got here, they changed their positions. They are just an empty hollow bag of wind.
