Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleague. I have a great amount of respect for the work he does. I have seen a lot of scandals over the years. This one, to me, is very tawdry. It has been like an endless line of scandals with the member for Edmonton Centre, but there is something really deplorable about someone who has the power of government and then presents themselves as indigenous in order to secure contracts from the government. This seems like the ultimate grift. It is also a slap in the face to anything that speaks of reconciliation in this country. It just cannot be allowed to stand.
I want to ask my colleague why he thinks the member for Edmonton Centre is still sitting on the front bench.
