Madam Speaker, I love listening to my Conservative colleagues, who are all shocked and appalled by the old corruption and insider gifts that go back to the rum bottle politics on the Rideau. I certainly remember Nigel Wright and the secret cheques. I remember Mike Duffy, the most unworthy Senate candidate since Caligula appointed his horse. Now we have another example of insiders getting graft and looking after their friends. I say welcome to Ottawa.
If Conservatives are serious about this, why are they filibustering a motion to get this to the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs so we can deal with it? We have work to get done in the House. Let us get this motion to PROC; let us investigate this and do what Parliament should do instead of wasting our time with useless speeches about all the shock and horror that Liberals have been bad. My God, they have been bad forever. We have better things to do than go through the lowest hits. I would ask the Conservatives this: Is Dean Del Mastro out of jail yet?
