Mr. Speaker, if the Conservatives respected taxpayers, they would have their hon. members to stand and be accountable instead of hiding in the doghouse or behind the minister. A simple “sorry” will not suffice.
That is a minister who was found in contempt of the Canadian Parliament, a minister who has racked up thousands of dollars in frivolous bills, a minister who tells hard-working Canadians that, “I'm sorry, a five-star hotel just isn't posh enough for me”.
Therefore, if she will not answer, I will ask the man in charge. When he has an ethically challenged minister, what does she have to do in order to get kicked out of his Cadillac cabinet?
