Madam Speaker, first I just want to say that I do genuinely enjoy my time sitting on the fisheries committee with my colleague.
I have noticed the Conservatives and the Liberals pointing fingers at one another. I have heard the Conservatives talk over and over about the Liberal insiders, and one thing that I would love to be able to get some insights from the member about is the fact that we know that SDTC's Annette Verschuren was donating tens of thousands of dollars to both the Conservatives and the Liberal government. I also believe that she was an adviser to Harper, but correct me if I am wrong on that, and Brian Mulroney, I am being told.
Although I want to get to the bottom of this, I want to understand what the facts are here. As such, my question to the member is this: Why are the Conservatives not taking accountability for their part in this inside work that is happening here?
