Mr. Speaker, those allegations are absolutely false.
Let me quote from the Chronicle-Herald :
An election under the present circumstances would put the country in peril.... [The Conservatives] have been accused of being afraid to wait for the Gomery report - in case it exonerates [the Prime Minister]. This...is exactly what it will do.
If they do pull the plug, the Conservatives will be easy prey to the charge of recklessness and opportunism--
They are afraid of the Gomery report because they know that report will judge our Prime Minister fairly.
