Mr. Speaker, yes, the sponsorship scandal was absolutely about propaganda. The Liberal Party was using its resources, taxpayer resources, to give itself an advantage at election time. That is why this helped bring down a government.
I was also very proud to be part of a Conservative government, under former prime minister Stephen Harper, that brought forward the accountability act. It established the Office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, a public office that the government seems to have no problem abusing and ignoring, in terms of the rulings that it has been given. In fact, we have a Prime Minister who has been found in contravention twice. No other prime minister in history has ever been found in conflict. It shows the record. I would put the record of the Conservative government up against the Liberal government any day of the week.
