Mr. Speaker, the Liberal Party is, and always will be, associated with the sponsorship scandal.
Canadians believed that the Liberals got the message, but they did not get it at all. The Liberal government is introducing a bill on access to information that would prevent the excellent work of journalists, people like Daniel Leblanc and others, from revealing things like the sponsorship scandal. We are not the ones saying so. Yesterday, the Information Commissioner said:
...I went back to the request...that uncovered the sponsorship scandal and that request would not meet their new requirement under [this bill].
Why does the Liberal Party want to hide other sponsorship scandals?
