Madam Speaker, we are all in agreement on this motion and believe in cracking down on Liberal scandals. That was not the opinion of the Conservatives, though, when they were in power.
The member was talking about taxpayers' money. He would be aware of the various scandals, so I just want to mention a few of them that the Conservatives blocked Parliament and committees from ever getting to the bottom of. There was the ETS scandal of $400 million, the G8 misspending of $1 billion, the F-35 procurement scandal of untold billions of dollars, the $2.2 billion for the Phoenix pay system, and the anti-terrorism funding, with no clear paper trail, of $3.1 billion. That is a lot of taxpayer money, and the Conservatives refused at committee and refused in Parliament to let us get to the bottom of things.
Are the Conservatives now willing to acknowledge that not only did they screw up terribly, but their scandals were atrocious and they should have allowed Parliament and parliamentary committees to get to the bottom of each and every one?
