Mr. Speaker, the integrity of the Canada Elections Act is a government responsibility. Yesterday, Michel Paulette, another former Conservative candidate, was found guilty of violating the Canada Elections Act and was sentenced to repaying the $10,000 he stole from taxpayers.
At the same time, the Conservatives acknowledged that they had received $25,000 from SNC-Lavalin through third parties. The Conservatives cannot just say that it is SNC-Lavalin's fault. They must pay back the money.
Will the Minister of State for Democratic Reform make sure that this happens?
