Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government wants to introduce a bill laying out the rules for its $1,500 fundraising cocktails featuring privileged access to the Prime Minister, but that will not solve the problem.
The government has no plans to end the undue influence of bagmen or privileged access for rich lobby groups that can afford to invest $1,500 in a Liberal cocktail.
The Liberal position is that advertising these fundraisers will suffice.
When will the Liberals realize that advertising $1,500 privileged access to the Prime Minister does not make it more ethical?
