Mr. Speaker, Canadians and people who do business in Canada think a little differently.
Transparency International surveys those trying to do business on whether they think one must exercise undue influence to get things done because a government is corrupt.
Canada is losing out on real decisions on investing, creating jobs, getting economic growth and prosperity all because of this.
The refusal of the Prime Minister to be transparent and answer simple questions on his involvement in the sponsorship affair is fuelling the slide in Canada's standing.
Why will the Prime Minister not just tell the House what he knew and when he knew it?
