Mr. Speaker, I really liked my colleague's speech.

I cannot ask her to answer for the Liberal Party. However, since she spoke about transparency and ethical breaches, I can ask her to answer for her political party.

During the pandemic, the Conservative Party, the NDP and the Liberal Party applied for the wage subsidy. Just now, I asked her colleague from Lethbridge if the Conservative Party intended to pay back the wage subsidy it received, but I did not get an answer. I am asking her the same question.

Does she believe that it was ethical for her party to apply for the wage subsidy? Does she believe that her party should pay it back?
