Mr. Speaker, it is an interesting process we are in. The Conservatives continue with what I have always said is character assassination. With the new Prime Minister, right away they want to attack his personal integrity.
I just did a very quick Google search, and I asked about Conservative MPs who have invested in Brookfield. Members would be surprised. The leader of the Conservative Party appears to have some indirect interest in companies associated with Brookfield. The deputy leader of the Conservative Party has stocks in Brookfield. There are a number of others. I do not necessarily know their ridings, so I cannot say them by name. If I had leave to do that, I would be more than happy to share the names.
The point is that at the end of the day, Canada has a fairly rigorous system. I am sure the member would agree, because it was Stephen Harper who brought it in to ensure that a sense of accountability, transparency and ethical behaviour was taking place.
We have a Prime Minister who met the requirements even before he became the Prime Minister. He has a blind trust. We have some of the most rigorous rules in the world, but that is not good enough for the Conservatives. The road to power for the Conservatives is to personally attack the leader of the Liberal Party.
Let us look at who the leader of the Liberal Party is and his background. He was appointed to be the governor of the Bank of Canada by Stephen Harper. He was appointed to be the governor of the Bank of England. He has incredible, impeccable experience in understanding an economy. Yes, he does have investments, much as many Conservatives do, and he has been highly successful.
Are the Conservatives saying he is not qualified to be the Prime Minister? He is following the rules, but they want to attack the Prime Minister personally, believing that by doing that, it is politically advantageous for the Conservatives. They want Canadians to think there is something wrong with the leader of the Liberal Party.
I would contrast the leader of the Liberal Party with the leader of the Conservative Party any day, anywhere, especially given the economic times and challenges we have. The Prime Minister has done an incredible job of working with premiers and indigenous leaders and bringing in Bill C-5 to build one Canadian economy and build Canada strong. That is not to mention the amount of travelling he is doing to build bridges and get more investment to come to Canada.
There is the potential for trade agreements with the Philippines and India. Look at what has happened in Indonesia. We have legislation before us today to deal with England and Northern Ireland. Why? It is because we have a very active Prime Minister who is out and about working hard day in and day out for Canadians in every region of the country, and all the Conservatives want to do is attack his character. I find that very unfortunate, and I believe Canadians will see through the Conservative tactic.
