Mr. Speaker, the Senate code of ethics was approved by this House in 2003.
Yesterday the hon. member referred to the new Senate code of ethics by saying:
Here you have a group of fat-cat unelected politicians who have a job for life and now we find out that they're policing themselves.
That is the same old Reform Party Senate bashing rhetoric that Canadians are sick of.
After decades of work, the Canadian Senate has a code of ethics and an independent Ethics Commissioner, and that is to be congratulated because it is good for the Senate and it is good for Canada.
