Mr. Speaker, this is another fishing expedition from the member for Hull—Aylmer.
I will tell the House what the government has done with respect to political financing. When we took office, we made the biggest priority an overhaul of our public laws with respect to political financing. We banned all corporations from donating to political parties. We promised it and we did it. We banned all unions from contributing to political parties. We promised it and we delivered it.
We finally put an end to $5,000 a person cocktail parties and lowered the limit to $1,000.
Those are the most pro middle-class initiatives ever taken in Canadian history. We have cleaned up the ethical mess we found when the hon. member's party left government.
