Mr. Speaker, the cloud of the sponsorship scandal is still hanging over the Liberal Party. Not one Liberal leadership candidate has come forward with any ideas, any suggestions or any proposals on how to clean up the ethical mess that is the Liberal Party of Canada.
The reason for that foot dragging is that the Liberals are ashamed that they have no plan to clean up politics and no plan to bring in more accountable government. Liberal members of Parliament and Liberal leadership candidates need to come clean and tell Canadians why they will not pass the federal accountability act.
