Mr. Speaker, I confess that it makes me feel bad to hear such distress and desperation in the voice of the hon. member, even now at Christmas time. It is a festive season, but for some reason the NDP seems so stressed out that it accepted $340,000 in gifts, not Christmas gifts but illegal gifts from the unions and now its members realize that transparency is upon them and that we are going to find out how all of this money that these unions forcefully take from workers is spent. The NDP seems so worried about that. Thou doth protest too much.
