I thank member for doing the right thing, Mr. Speaker. I am glad the Liberals are allowed to at least apologize when they do wrong, because we know they are not allowed to speak their mind.
We have a $400-million fraud. In question period, we see the Liberals hang their heads in shame when people say this, especially on the backbenches. The Prime Minister can show as much fight as he wants. He will do his thing, where he points at the ground and says that Liberals will not stand for that. Clearly, they do not stand for much when it comes to their MPs speaking out. We know now that Liberal MPs cannot disagree on things. Frankly, reasonable people can disagree on the GST holiday and the GST cheques. That is something on which reasonable people can disagree, and it is obvious that reasonable people can disagree on this, yet the member for Hamilton East—Stoney Creek disagrees and is told there will be consequences.
How many times have the Conservatives spoken up? On this side of the House, we are allowed to talk. This goes for the NDP and the Bloc as well. Every single one of their members is free to stand up and speak up. On this side of the House, we compete for who gets to ask questions. Often, two or three Conservatives will stand when it is time to ask questions. What do we see on that side of the House? We see the member for Winnipeg North consistently stand and ask questions when he has capable people behind him.
Just last week, I called him out. I told the member that there were three strong women behind him and asked why they did not get to ask a question for the government. Are they muzzled as well? Why is that? I remember when Candice Bergen was here as interim Conservative leader. She noted that there were four strong, capable women behind him and she asked the member for Winnipeg North why they did not get to ask a question. Perhaps it is because of the shackles. Perhaps it is because of the muzzling. This is after nine years of the government. It is so tired that it expects one person to carry all the baggage, all the weight and wink to all the conspiracy theorists.
As Conservatives, we will not stand for it. The Liberals should hand over the documents and release the names. Let us bring it home.
