Madam Speaker, when I listen to the Conservatives, they tend to forget the global economic meltdown that took place in 2008. If we look at the Stephen Harper economic update in November of that year, we will find it was completely ignored. There was not a word with respect to what was happening to the economy. If it were not for the diligence of the opposition, there would have been no acknowledgement by Stephen Harper that a recession was taking place.
I wonder if my friend and colleague could explain why there seems to be a double standard? When the Conservatives were in government, they completely ignored their responsibility to the House. Compare that to what we are doing with respect to providing transparency and accountability on a daily basis.
