Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleague from Lévis—Lotbinière for his excellent speech. I just want to mention that he has been here in the House since 2006. He said that, but it bears repeating. That makes him the longest-serving Conservative MP from Quebec. We can be very proud of his contribution to the debate.
My colleague from Lac-Saint-Louis was talking about the memory we need to have here in the House. The member witnessed the appalling free-for-all during the sponsorship scandal.
Could the member tell us about the parallels between what we are seeing today and the sad and awful Liberal sponsorship scandal of the early 2000s?
