Mr. Speaker, one has to feel sorry for the member for Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke. She left NATO documents in an airport, to be found by Sheila Copps.
However, after all, leaving NATO documents lying around is actually a bit of a Conservative tradition.
It was the member for Beauce, the then minister of foreign affairs, who first perfected the practice in 2009. Then the only defence was that the documents were classified but not that classified.
Now it is only Tuesday, but it has been quite a week so far for the Conservatives.
Just yesterday, the trial of a former staffer in a voter suppression scheme began in Guelph, where dozens of Conservatives are expected to testify.
Bruce Carson's former escort was called as a witness for the preliminary inquiry in his trial.
Patrick Brazeau's legal team asked for more time before a pre-trial hearing on charges of breach of trust.
All the while, the NDP has been asking questions about privacy and climate change, while the Conservatives and the Liberals, as usual, hide behind secret meetings and magically invented rules.
