Mr. Speaker, I know my colleague also has a great plethora of history in politics and recording the events that have taken place in this nation, so I thank him very much. Coming from him, those compliments mean a lot to me. It has been an honour to serve this country.
I have never seen anything like this in my life. I referred to that earlier in debates when I was asking questions. One of our colleagues last night talked about the $16 glass of orange juice from many years ago, when that individual was basically forced out of Parliament. Then we went through the ad scam situation for 40 million dollars' worth of scandal, and this is $400 million. To put everything into perspective, at a time when Canadians are struggling with gas and groceries and heating their homes, we have a $400-million scandal going on. This is something the government tried to cover up in the SDTC operations.
I have never seen anything this bad in Canadian history.
