Mr. Speaker, the government's strategy is to protect itself by making light of what went on or by referring the cases to the RCMP one by one.
However, what the public has figured out is that the government is trying at all costs to avoid having to explain what really went on.
Does the Minister of Public Works and Government Services understand, as the scandals pile up, that the least the government can do is to cast light on all of this by referring the sponsorship program to an independent and public inquiry?
