Mr. Speaker, all the excuses in the world for their ethical failures will not hide the fact that Canadians expect and deserve better than what they are getting from the government.
The Prime Minister does not seem to understand that these many ethical scandals popping up all over the place cast a shadow over the entire government. The ethics commissioner has now opened a third inquiry into the dealings of the Minister of Industry. “Three strikes, you're out”.
For goodness' sake, how many inquiries does it take before the Prime Minister does the right thing and kicks the Minister of Industry out of cabinet?
