Madam Speaker, I like the member. I have worked with him and enjoy his sense of humour.
As he knows, the NDP is supporting the motion. Whether we are talking about SDTC, WE Charity or SNC-Lavalin, NDP members believe we have been instrumental in getting to the bottom of Liberal corruption.
To the credit of the Liberal government, despite the fact that there are these scandals, it has allowed Parliament, because it is a minority Parliament, to get to the bottom of things. That was not the case, as the member well knows, during the Harper regime, when a Conservative majority steamrolled Parliament and parliamentary traditions and transparency.
I mention this because my colleague asked this question: Is power really worth it? Was power really worth it for the $400-million ETS scam that we never got to the bottom of because the Conservatives refused to allow us to get any sort of transparency? Was power really worth it for the $1 billion spent on the G8, another scandal the Harper regime shut down? Was power really worth it for the $2.2 billion misspent on the Phoenix pay system? Was power really worth it for the $3.1 billion lost in anti-terrorism funding?
