Mr. Speaker, when we think of it, the sponsorship scandal is based on a very simple premise: The Liberal government awarded generous contracts to advertising agencies that are friends with the Liberal Party and, conversely, these agencies gave money to the Liberal Party. We learned that Pierre Michaud and Pierre Davidson both gave $1,000 to the Liberal Party in 1997, after receiving money from the sponsorship program.
The Minister of Transport promised to give back the dirty money related to sponsorships. Is this also a broken promise by the Liberal government?
