Mr. Speaker, I hope my colleague and friend does not hurt himself when asking his questions. He is pretty energized today.
I can understand if my colleague does not want to take my word for it. He does not have to. That is fair. That is common in our parliamentary procedure.
I would ask him to just take the word of Chuck Cadman himself when he was interviewed by Mike Duffy. Mike Duffy asked him, “--Conservatives were prepared to offer you an unopposed nomination if you would vote with them, and also help with campaign funding and so on. Was that offer actually made?” Chuck Cadman said, “Yes...that was the only offer on anything that I had from anybody”.
