Mr. Speaker, I congratulate you on your recent appointment. You look very good in the chair.
I was incredibly encouraged by the Speech from the Throne.
I was involved in trying to get the whistleblower legislation through in the last Parliament and we got it passed.
I am so proud of the new Conservative government that is going to propose the new accountability law. I am very encouraged with that.
My understanding is that the accountability act will be one of the toughest anti-corruption laws in Canadian history. For example, the act will bring in a corruption watchdog to protect whistleblowers against bullying. It will end the revolving door between lobby firms and ministers' offices. It will give the Auditor General the power to shine light in every dark corner in her hunt for waste and theft. It will ban big money and corporate cash from political campaigns. It will move from a cultural of entitlement to a culture of accountability. We are fixing this system for all Canadians.
Does the member agree with this?
