Mr. Speaker, being a member of the heritage committee and having the honour of fulfilling the shadow minister role during this time, I was shocked when the Liberals, along with the Bloc Québécois, rejected the motion the member brought forward asking for some accountability and answers on a sports scandal that truly shocked the world and put Canada and its athletes at a disadvantage when there should have been a coming together of our nation. It was the leadership and just simply being able to demand answers. I do not understand why for the Liberals at every turn, whether it is sports, corruption or the fiscal status of the country, their default answer to everything seems to be to bury their heads in the sand, cover it up and hide the real answers from Canadians.
