Madam Speaker, I want to pay my respects to my colleague on the great speech she gave, based on her experience over the last nine years that she has served her constituents here in the House of Commons and in her riding.
The member has pointed out that the next generation, unfortunately, will face some very serious challenges. The next generation expects leaders to do their job conscientiously and honestly. In the case of the green fund under discussion today, the focus of our debate, three out of four projects failed to meet the basic rules of ethics. More than $390 million of a $500-million budget was mismanaged. This means that 78% was managed all wrong, and four out of five projects broke the rules of ethics.
How can we inspire confidence with a record like that?
