Mr. Speaker, when someone breaks the law, he breaks the law, period.
If a new financial advisor defrauds his clients, he cannot get out of it by simply saying that he is sorry, that it was a rookie mistake and that he will not do it again. Yet, that is exactly the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs' strategy. He illegally spent thousands of dollars. It is tantamount to stealing the election.
Does the Prime Minister find the minister's pathetic and ridiculous explanations acceptable?
