Mr. Speaker, election overspending is a serious offence, but Conservative MPs seem to think election laws are optional.
Elections Canada has now said that there are three Conservative MPs who are not entitled to sit or vote in this place: the member for Selkirk—Interlake, the member for Saint Boniface and now the member for Essex. Last week the member for Peterborough tried to abuse his parliamentary privilege and interfere with an Elections Canada investigation in his riding.
The law is clear. Why does the Conservative government refuse to enforce the Canada Elections Act?
