Mr. Speaker, as a fellow member of Parliament for British Columbia, the member will appreciate the seriousness of this in the context of British Columbia as well. Not only do we have this cloud of stench and corruption hanging over the Liberal Party nationally, but in our home province of British Columbia we have the Liberal Party of British Columbia which has that same cloud. In fact, its membership has skyrocketed from 4,000 to 40,000 and nobody knows where the money came from. The former Liberal riding president from Vancouver Quadra said that no one knows where the money came from and there has been no accounting for it.
The Prime Minister's director of communications and director of fundraising have had their homes searched; drug warrants have been issued; organized crime is involved.
Does the member not agree that this is just another nail in the coffin of the federal Liberal Party and that it is no surprise that the Liberal member for Vancouver South—Burnaby said that given what is happening now, the Liberals will be lucky to hold onto what they have in the province of British Columbia?
