Mr. Speaker, after nine years of NDP-Liberals, taxes are up, costs are up, crime is up and time is up. The Speaker ruled that the NDP-Liberals violated a House order to turn over evidence to the police for a criminal investigation on their latest $400 million scandal. The NDP-Liberals' refusal to respect the ruling has paralyzed Parliament and pushed aside our work to address doubling of housing costs, food inflation and crime and chaos.
The Auditor General's investigation found that the Liberals' appointees to SDTC gave nearly $400 million to their own companies, with over 186 conflicts of interest, at a time when Canadians cannot afford to eat, heat their home and house themselves. Responsible government is accountable to the people of Canada; we work for the people of Canada. This is a fundamental pillar of our parliamentary system.
When will the NDP-Liberals end the cover-up and turn over the documents to the police so Parliament can get back to working for Canadians?
