Mr. Speaker, I know that the parliamentary secretary may not want to answer, but the facts are clear. What are the “financial considerations”? The Prime Minister mentioned them, as we can hear on the tape. He was aware of these things. Given that Mr. Cadman's widow, daughter and son-in-law were aware, are the parliamentary secretary, the Prime Minister and the government trying to say that everyone is lying?
The fact is that the Prime Minister acknowledged that the voice on the tape was his and that people sent by his party were trying to find a way to pay “financial considerations” to a dying man so that he would vote to bring down the Liberal government. It is shameful to try to use such schemes. The parliamentary secretary should simply stand up at least and answer for the minute—
