Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Northumberland—Peterborough South for laying out the various problems we have with the Liberal government and the ongoing culture of corruption.
He mentioned a number of the scandals before us, including the one we are dealing with, the green slush fund. Almost $400 million has been stolen and misappropriated by Liberal insiders, even to the benefit of the environment minister.
When I was first elected 20 years ago, we were dealing with the ad scam. At $40 million, it was a small thing compared to this scandal. It caused the defeat of the government of the day under Paul Martin and occurred under Jean Chrétien. There was also the billion-dollar boondoggle of the ineffective and useless long-gun registry. Let us not forget the lost $2 billion spent on Human Resources Skills and Development Canada that nobody was ever able to find.
Does my colleague know why the Liberals are so corrupt so often?
