Mr. Speaker, I think part of the issue that we are seeing with the debate today, with Liberal members giving their speeches, is that there seems to be a bit of a refusal to acknowledge that a pattern has existed with scandal within government.
We know Justin Trudeau had multiple ethics reports with his name on them. The minister from Beauséjour has a couple; he made headlines a few times for some very notable slip-ups and conflicts. We have the former minister of international trade. She had some shortcomings on the ethics side.
There are many instances. It is not like the government failures were just one little problem here. There seems to be a constant lack of accountability. We see ministers, even members of the Liberal Party, get up and say they cannot blame the minister. Well, no, ministerial accountability is an important piece.
Would the member not agree that if ministers were actually accountable for their departments, a lot of this would not have happened?
