Mr. Speaker, my colleague's speech was, of course, no different from what all his common-sense Conservative colleagues are telling us. I think, however, that common sense has gone out the window, because they have forgotten their history. I agree that corruption is very much part of the Liberal DNA. That said, it is also in the Conservative DNA. My colleague likes to remind people of the facts, so I am going to remind him of a few facts about his government when it was in power.
Some $50 million was embezzled in Tony Clement's riding, a former industry minister under the Conservatives. What did the Conservative Party do to reward him? They promoted him. That is rich. They reward people who embezzle funds. I would also like to remind him that, on questions of privilege like today's, the Conservative Party opposed handing over documents requested by the House. In 2009 and 2010, there was the Afghan detainee transfer scandal. In 2013, there was the Senate expenses scandal. In 2011, there was the robocalls affair. In 2012, there was the omnibus budget implementation bill, Bill C‑38.
I think that my colleague has forgotten some of the history. I have just one question for him. How can Quebeckers have confidence in a Conservative Party that has such a shameful record of scandals?
