Madam Speaker, frankly I have no idea what the member is talking about, except that as usual he is simply trying to divert attention away from the essential issue here, which is that his party has been involved in the most widespread web of corruption with connections to criminality known in the political history of this country. In the words of the former Liberal minister, the member for Edmonton—Mill Woods—Beaumont, this has caused Canada to look like a northern banana republic. It reflects upon how the Liberal Party looks upon the public trust “as a vulture looks upon a dying calf”.
I was on the public accounts committee with that member. He voted against my motion to continue hearing witnesses on May 13 last year. He voted to shut down the committee because he and his boss did not want the truth to be known by the Canadian people.
