Madam Speaker, the hon. gentleman knows full well that the Liberal caucus was plagued by ethics scandals throughout the last Parliament, whether it was fishing contracts given to families, forgotten French villas, illegal Bahamian vacations or interference in the criminal prosecution of SNC-Lavalin. It is not always about one's feelings being hurt; one needs to own up and be accountable. That is the message Liberals need to understand. They need to lift the veil of secrecy and let the RCMP and the Ethics Commissioner do their work, because we know that there is more than just smoke; with the Prime Minister, there is a fire.
