Ethics  Mr. Speaker, all Conservative Party spending is paid out of a single account that is controlled by the Conservative Party. All of the funds are reported to Elections Canada, and they are audited annually. The fund has been public knowledge for years.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, the Conservative Party of Canada controls the Conservative Fund of Canada. That is the message that we have delivered from the very beginning. There is one account. It is controlled by the Conservative Party. It has been publicly known since the existence of the Conservative Party.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, I do not know whether the Bloc member missed question period today, but if he had been here, he would know that there is no secret fund. The Prime Minister is the leader of the Conservative Party. When he does partisan work, any related expenses are paid by the Conservative Party.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, these questions have already been answered. The opposition members continue to pose questions founded on false premises. They should, instead, take a moment to ask questions about the well-being of everyday Canadians. Today we learned that there have been a million phone calls across our country when people have picked up the line and heard the good news, “You're hired.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, Nigel Wright has taken sole personal responsibility for his decision. He said that it was a mistake. He offered his resignation to the Prime Minister and that resignation was accepted.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, we know that once again the Liberal Party is throwing mud because it is losing ground. The Liberals do not have anything to offer the Canadian people. They have absolutely no policy to improve the lives of everyday Canadians. On this side of the House, our policy speaks through results.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, the answer is no.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, there is one Conservative Party fund that reimburses all partisan expenses related to the Conservative Party of Canada. It is controlled by the Conservative Party, in contrast to the false reporting from CBC yesterday. We have been clear about this today and we were clear about this yesterday, and let me say that there is stated evidence from both parties that they use exactly the same practice.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, that is the job of the party. The party keeps track of the expenditures on its fund, and then all of those expenditures are audited annually and reported to Elections Canada.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, she is asking how I know about a secret fund that does not exist. Those members are getting a little metaphysical over there. Let us go from fictional news to good news. Today we had one of the biggest-ever one-month job creation results, 95,000 net new jobs, the biggest job creation result for our youth in 30 years, bringing the total to one million net new jobs.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, people cannot be aware of something that does not exist.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, there is no such fund.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, allow me to quote Postmedia on June 6, 2013: Liberal Party spokesperson Kate Monfette said the party pays for expenses for its leader that are “strictly partisan in nature” and unrelated to parliamentary duties “so as to ensure the separation between parliamentary activities and political activities.”

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, the evidence is that the Conservative fund, just like the funds for all political parties, are audited every single year, that our finances are submitted to Elections Canada for approval year after year and that all of the expenses in question are covered by a single, solitary fund.

Ethics  Mr. Speaker, the hon. member wants to know if this money is reported to Elections Canada. The answer is yes.
