Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to my colleague's speech. I agree in part with many of his statements. I definitely agree that the Liberal Party is inherently corrupt, secretive and wasteful with public funds.
However, I would like him to explain some things about his party, since he can answer for his party's actions. He was a member here when one of his cabinet colleagues, Tony Clement, diverted $50 million in public funds in his own riding. That is some serious misconduct, and it was condemned by the Auditor General at the time. What is more, Tony Clement was not just any minister. He was the president of the Treasury Board, which is responsible for managing and overseeing the administration of all federal public spending.
I would like my colleague to explain to me in concrete terms why Quebeckers should trust a Conservative Party that displayed no transparency and mismanaged public funds when it was in power.
