Mr. Speaker, it has been over a month since media revealed that a Liberal senator was the beneficiary of an offshore account set up in the South Pacific, yet this tax-evading senator refuses to answer questions and she remains a member of the Liberal caucus despite an ongoing investigation.
The Liberal leader here and the Liberal opposition leader in the Senate know the details, but they have done nothing to hold her to account. They even let her remain in their caucus despite the investigation. This do nothing, defend the status quo approach to the Senate is unacceptable.
Frankly, this poor judgment from the Liberal leader is not surprising. He is, after all, the same leader who said that the Senate should not change because it was set up to Quebec's advantage.
The Liberal leader and his Liberal senators should stop defending the Senate status quo and hold the senator to account. When will he stand and prove that he is not just in over his head?
