Mr. Speaker, our party and our government are demanding real accountability, including tough new expense rules for senators and real rules to crack down on tax evasion.
On the other hand, the Liberal leader defends a multi-million-dollar tax evader in his Senate caucus, and the NDP leader has shown little leadership in cracking down on tax evaders in his own caucus.
It is exactly this type of poor judgment that Canadians rejected in the last election. These tax evaders only remain in the Liberal and NDP caucuses because of the poor judgment of the leaders of the NDP and the Liberals.
It is clear that the Liberal leader is “Just-in” over his head.
If the NDP wants to call for higher taxes, like a carbon tax on everything, it should start by making an example of the tax evaders in its own caucus.
Canadians will not stand for tax evasion, and neither should the leaders of the NDP and the Liberal Party.
