Madam Speaker, we in the NDP support the motion. Of course we want to get to the bottom of this Liberal scandal, but I know my colleague remembers what happened during the Harper years. Under Harper, the Conservatives refused any investigation into their scandals. I just want to point out that the G8 scandal involved $1 billion. The ETS scandal cost $400 million. The Phoenix pay system cost $2.2 billion. Funding for the fight against terrorism involved more than $3 billion, and we never found out what happened to that money. That is a lot of money.
It is taxpayers' money, but the Conservatives treated the public purse like their own personal bank account. There was never an investigation into all of that corruption because the Conservatives refused to allow committees to get to the bottom of it and, of course, they prevented Parliament from doing it either.
Will my colleague now admit that the Conservatives were wrong to refuse these investigations? Are they prepared to apologize to the Canadian public?
