Mr. Speaker, we are dealing with a symptom of the illness that has taken place. That is why the NDP has proposed real, concrete modernization techniques for an open, accountable government. That is what separates our party from other parties with regard to having that, in terms of not only what we say but also proposing it through legislation. That is quite different from what we see at the table.
This is just going to rear its head again. It has become a battle between the Conservatives and Liberals as to who thinks they have better patronage appointments. I can tell the House that none of them are better. What we actually need is a better process and better transparency to ensure that taxpayers are protected.
