Royal Canadian Mounted Police  Mr. Speaker, it is interesting to me that the Conservatives would once again talk about a cover-up when it is they who are using political tactics to block the study of a lobbyist-paid trip for five Conservative members.

Enhancing Transparency and Accountability in the Transportation System Act  Madam Speaker, I am curious about why the members opposite would be opposed to transparency in the transportation system.
