Mr. Speaker, I raised the question not because of partisan reasons, but because it was wrong. The matter involved here happened to be referred to the Ethics Commissioner which is the right thing to do.

The member decided to throw mud at another member of Parliament, but what he did not say is that there was no complaint made to the Ethics Commissioner about that. I think he has to be very careful.

Let me conclude by saying that today I received yet another unethical example. It comes from the Prime Minister and it has political stuff that says things such as, “We are for this and the other party is not, which one do you choose”. It says, “For privacy, cut and fold and seal with tape”. Yet again, it says “no postage required”. It is a political piece of information. It should not be paid for by the taxpayers of Canada.

Why is the member denying the fact that there are ample examples of unethical behaviour by the Conservative government? Canadians do not deserve it.

Mr. Speaker, once again the member for Mississauga South has underscored my argument that I made just a few moments ago.

Here is a member standing up and accusing members on this side of the House of throwing mud on opposition members, when in fact the reverse is true. The member for Thornhill originally made an accusation that the Secretary of State for Multiculturalism was doing something unethical, when very shortly thereafter, it was discovered that the member who made the accusation was doing exactly the same thing the last time we heard a question from that member.

I think it just goes to show once again that Canadians, certainly members on this side of the House, do not need a lesson in ethics from anyone from the Liberal Party of Canada.
