Mr. Speaker, one of the things that became clear in this morning's testimony is that the secret Liberal unity fund laid the ground for the sponsorship debacle.
As finance minister and vice-chair of Treasury Board, the Prime Minister funded and had full knowledge of the unity honey pot and therefore he shares responsibility for the sponsorship scandal.
Why should Canadians trust the Prime Minister to clean up the sponsorship mess that he helped to create when he was the most powerful member of the Chrétien cabinet?
