Statement - Federal Accountability Act -
December 4, 2006
Mr. Merv Tweed (Brandon—Souris, CPC):
Mr. Speaker, this weekend Liberals returned to the scene of
the crime. The names may have changed but absolutely nothing
is different.
The most important event that did not happen this weekend
was a simple apology to Canadians for violating their trust
and stealing their money. Was that too much to ask?
It is clear Liberals do not care for political reform as
they could not even get quorum during their party's reform
debate.
The unelected Liberal Senate continues to stall the
accountability act. It has been through this House six
times. When will the member for
Saint-Laurent—Cartierville tell his unelected Senate to
move forward with the accountability act? More important,
one wonders if the Liberal Party and its new leader have any
plans to ever be accountable to the people of Canada.
For Liberals, as the old saying goes, the more things
change, the more they stay the same.
