Madam Speaker, I gave a number of reasons I thought the Liberals might be delaying this, letting the time just pass away. The fifth reason is that I think they really have something to hide. The Auditor General put forward an audit that showed, I believe, that 186 out of 230 contracts she looked into had conflicts of interest. If we extrapolate that to all the contracts, it would equal about $800 million to Liberal insiders getting involved. It looks like even a cabinet minister had been involved in one capacity or another, actually several. We can compare that with the sponsorship scandal that happened 20 years ago. This is 10 times the amount, and that is just one scandal we are dealing with. It is right across the government.
