Mr. Speaker, I listened with great interest to my colleague. I noted some of the heckling coming from the Liberal benches during his remarks, in particular the comments from the member for Cambridge hollering over at my colleague, “Well, why didn't you speak up? When did you say anything?”
As my colleague said, we spoke up time and time again. It is only too bad that the member for Cambridge had not been listening a little, along with the rest of his Liberal colleagues.
I wonder if my colleague from Provencher might, drawing on his experience as the past attorney general of the great Province of Manitoba, bring some legal sense to this issue and pursue the issue of why the Prime Minister, who was the former finance minister, would try to distance himself from this instead of taking responsibility.
We used to hear talk in the House about ministerial accountability but with this Liberal government there never seems to be any ministerial accountability.
