Mr. Speaker, Canadians will understand that the Prime Minister attacks me because he cannot defend his own record.
We have a government mired in scandal and corruption, yet still unable to follow even the most basic ethical guidelines. Cabinet ministers and parliamentary secretaries had 120 days after being appointed to file asset declarations, yet six ministers and nine parliamentary secretaries failed to comply with conflict of interest guidelines.
Why is the Prime Minister unable to enforce even his most minimum ethical standards on his own cabinet?
