Mr. Speaker, the new Conservative motto should be “Do as I say, not as I do”. And they want to give us a lesson on government spending? Why not get on a plane to go to Tim Hortons? Why not freeze all ministers' budgets, but increase the budget of the Prime Minister's Office by 21.9%? Why not take away judicial discretion in cases of serious offences, like cocaine possession, except of course when the offender is a former Conservative MP, in which case why not give him a break?
Do the Conservatives not see the common thread in all of this—the hypocrisy?
