Mr. Speaker, some correction. Two years later the scams are there and the money keeps flowing.
The Prime Minister knew about this mess. He did everything to cover it up and nothing to clean it up.
He set the low standard himself with his own BDC dealings in Shawinigate, and in a speech in Winnipeg a couple of weeks ago he said it did not matter if millions of dollars were stolen as long as it somehow served national unity.
My question is this: Will the Prime Minister take responsibility for this? Will he admit that through his own lax ethical standards he signalled that it is okay to rip off the taxpayers of Canada?
