Mr. Speaker, let us talk about elections.
Yesterday on the in and out, the parliamentary secretary wondered what his party was accused of. Let me explain.
The Conservatives tried to hide $1.3 million in national overspending on the books of local candidates. They forced local candidates to take part in the scheme where the local candidates had no control of the funds, never incurred the expenses, never knew what the ads were that were being bought, and then sought rebates; in short, election fraud.
Is the parliamentary secretary not embarrassed by having to answer for the ministers while they sit in silence with Elections Canada hot in pursuit--
