Madam Speaker, my colleague is absolutely right. We can look at the different standards that exist, such as what happened long before I was in this place when a colleague was held accountable over a $16 glass of orange juice. The Chrétien-Martin government was held accountable by Canadians for the sponsorship scandal, which was way less than this scandal. We are at over $400 million. The Auditor General said, based on the findings and the fact there are things like deleted emails, that it is hard to know just exactly how big this is. It could be even bigger, which is absolutely ridiculous.
The lack of accountability and transparency that continues to be demonstrated by the government is absolutely appalling. That is why Canadians are sick and tired of the Liberal government. That is why Canadians are saying over and over again that they want an election, because they want a say and a choice in what kind of government is going to run this country. They are overwhelmingly looking forward to a Conservative government that would restore transparency and respect the taxpayer dollar.
