Mr. Speaker, this is so that I can get a better understanding of what the NDP is suggesting in terms of amendments and some of the things the member talked about.
I believe the member was here in 2004. I wonder if he might talk about some of the historical context that brought about the need for an accountability act.
I do note in the House that quite often the members of the Liberal Party chastise the NDP for helping to eject the then Liberal minority government.
However, to help me better understand some of the things that the NDP are talking about in the amendments, I wonder if the member might just refresh some of us who were not here in 2004 on some of the things that were happening back then between 2004 and 2006, before this act was brought in.
