Mr. Speaker, it is the Prime Minister who has hit Canadians with higher taxes and his caucus is in revolt.
Speaking of rogue Conservatives, we now have yet another Conservative ethics scandal. We have the ministers of trade, aboriginal affairs and industry who all accepted calls from a former colleague. They received insider information about the joint venture between Progress Energy and the Chinese state-owned Petronas.
There are rules around this kind of behaviour. Why did these ministers not immediately convey this information about these calls to the Ethics Commissioner?
