Mr. Speaker, the member started off with breaking news about the RCMP doing an investigation. That is interesting because the Conservatives can let the RCMP do what it needs to do. Instead, they want to blur judicial independence. That is what this motion, or whatever game they are playing, is about. It is contrary to what the RCMP is recommending.
I take issue with how the member, probably more than any other Conservative member, tries to politicize things. How many times have we heard him say “Liberal-appointed chair” and that she is a Liberal and Liberal-friendly? He knows full well that she was an adviser to Brian Mulroney, Stephen Harper and Jim Flaherty. She is a big donor to the Conservative Party, having donated thousands of dollars, yet he continues to say she is Liberal-friendly.
The bottom line is that we do not condone and have taken strict actions against what has taken place, with independent investigations, the freezing of funds and a replacement of the board. The only one who is being irresponsible is the Conservative Party of Canada.
