Mr. Speaker, I welcome the enthusiastic response of the opposition.
The government responded to the Gomery commission recommendations in a detailed public letter from the Prime Minister.
The government's response to Liberal corruption was the accountability act, the most sweeping anti-corruption legislation in Canadian history. What did it bring? An independent Ethics Commissioner, a new lobbying act, a stronger Auditor General, tougher rules for political financing and real protection for whistleblowers, something that the party opposite would never do.
