Mr. Speaker, what we just heard from the member is what we would call the “Dance of the Seven Veils” in the verbal version. He literally talked about everything but the content of the motion, avoiding, at some points brilliantly, to talk about the failure of the Finance Minister to meet the very simple and reasonable ethical requirements set forth by the law and the Liberal government by the very documents it put out in the mandate letters sent to every cabinet minister.
How can the member say truthfully and without laughing that the minister has met the requirements of the law and the expectations of Canadians on his personal ethics?
