Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives might try to tell people that Peter Penashue invented the Internet, but he still had to resign in disgrace for breaking the law. Those are the facts.
We know that Peter Penashue accepted $5,000 in illegal donations from Pennecon, but that is only a small number of the larger illegal donations that brought him down. The finances were in such a state, no one could even tell where these donations were coming from. There are donors who do not remember donating. There are receipts that were suppressed. There are donor names that do not even match the Elections Canada review file, and we have a disgraced former MP who may be facing charges.
Before the Prime Minister allows this man to run, why will he not insist that Peter Penashue come clean?
