Mr. Speaker, the member is absolutely right. The former finance minister said exactly that. I would like to take this opportunity to read from her resignation letter. She says, “Our country today faces a grave challenge.” She goes on to say, “That means eschewing costly political gimmicks, which we can ill afford and which make Canadians doubt that we recognize the gravity of the moment.”
Here we are, talking about $400 million that the government refuses to provide accountability for. There is another sentence in the former finance minister's resignation letter that says, “But how we deal with the threat our country currently faces will define us for a generation, and perhaps longer. Canada will win if we are strong, smart, and united.” That is something we have to be. She continues, “Inevitably, our time in government will come to an end.” This is a great one line and I agree with it; surely it needs to come to an end as soon as possible.
