Mr. Speaker, I want to ask my hon. colleague one simple question.
I listened very carefully, during the preamble to his speech, when he referred to the sponsorship scandal, the Gomery commission, everything that happened, the inquiry, the Prime Minister and so on.
What is his interpretation of the announcement the hon. Minister of Transport made a few minutes ago about the creation of a trust into which $750,000 of the alleged dirty money will be deposited, in order to—perhaps, eventually—repay the money, received inappropriately during the sponsorship scandal?
I want to know why this is being done now at the 11th hour, when we have been calling for this for more than six months now? How does he explain this?
