Grey Cup November 18th, 2013
Mr. Speaker, yesterday afternoon I, with millions of other football fans from coast to coast to coast, cheered loudly as Canada's team, the Saskatchewan Roughriders, secured its spot in the 101st Grey Cup coming up next Sunday in Regina, Saskatchewan.
As members know, the Riders are Canada's finest team and they have the most loyal fans in the entire CFL, and in fact, in all of sports. Rider Nation is excited that Coach Corey Chamblin and stars like Kory Sheets, Weston Dressler, and Darian Durant will be hoisting the Grey Cup in victory come next Sunday afternoon.
As members also know, whenever Regina hosts a Grey Cup, it is a great event. Whenever the Saskatchewan Roughriders are in a Grey Cup, it is a great event. Therefore, the combination of the Saskatchewan Roughriders being in a Grey Cup in Regina means this will be the event of a lifetime.
Saskatchewan fans will welcome fans from all football teams from across Canada, including the Tiger Cats, but make no mistake, come the end of the game when double zeros are on the clock, there is only one team that will be standing victorious, the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Business of Supply November 5th, 2013
Mr. Speaker, I would just point out the difference between what we are talking about here, the Duffy affair, and the sponsorship scandal. It is almost like night and day. The situation we have here is that $90,000 was repaid to taxpayers, albeit inappropriately. All of the parties involved admitted their culpability. Nigel Wright said that yes, he did it. He said that it was wrong, but he did it.
With the sponsorship scandal, we had Liberal Party members denying their involvement. It took a commission, headed by Justice Gomery, to find out exactly what happened. That was far different from this. This was $90,000 improperly repaid, and admitted to, as opposed to a systemic attempt on behalf of the Liberal Party of Canada to defraud taxpayers and deny its involvement.
That is the difference. That is why there was a Gomery Commission. That is why there is no need for one here.
