Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the fact that the member has apologized for his outrageous statement. I hope this kind of behaviour does not happen in this House again. We are clearly not talking about individuals. We are debating the motion that the Conservatives have brought in about a culture of corruption. We believe that culture has existed, not only in this Liberal administration, but in the past Conservative administration.
I want to say to the member who has challenged us to talk about our support, which he should know is steadily increasing in the polls, that the Conservative candidate in my constituency who ran against me in the last election is so fed up with the Conservatives that he has decided to join the NDP and join my re-election efforts.
