Mr. Speaker, the hon. member for Miramichi told us she was a teacher and that she had learned to listen to what was said and carefully read what was written.
I would ask her to listen to the following statement, made in 2005 by the former leader of the opposition, when it was believed that the government had intentionally leaked budget information. He said:
This information was circulated before being made public. That is completely unacceptable.
Her leader said that in 2005. It was the same person who said and wrote that they would not fill Senate vacancies because it was inappropriate. Today, they swore in 18 senators.
I would like to know what the member for Miramichi would say to her students. Can they trust someone who says one thing and does the opposite?
