My apologies, Mr. Speaker. It was a quote. I withdraw that. In the Saskatchewan legislature, one is allowed to read quotes. Due to my time at the Saskatchewan legislature, it is a habit.
The question, I think, is incredibly valid. I am glad the Liberals opposite are paying attention, because they should listen to what Debbie has to say, which is that somebody should stop the corruption. I would tell Debbie the good news is that the Conservatives are fighting every day on her behalf.
