Mr. Speaker, for those who are tuning into this debate, it is very clear to see that with the extreme issues present in the current Liberal government, like the serious mismanagement of funds at SDTC, and with the historic contempt case of the former Conservative government, these parties are consistently abusing Canadians. They are abusing Canadians' ability to get things done in the House and abusing Canadians' tax dollars. When it is politically convenient for them to call out each other's mismanagement, they do so in this place. It shouldn't have to be that way.
The New Democrats always believe in financial accountability and transparency. That is why we voted in favour of this motion. However, we cannot help but point out the direct hypocrisy we have witnessed in this debate from these two parties and their complete lack of memory when it comes to their own mismanagement.
Does the member agree that a serious debate on this issue should require reflection of one's own actions, in particular regarding the issues present not just to the Liberal government, but to that of Mr. Harper?
