Madam Speaker, it is mid-December and there are still no public accounts. There are disturbing stories that the Liberal government has actually reopened the audited public accounts and changed them for political gain. Earlier this week when we asked about this, the President of the Treasury Board refused to answer, so I will ask about it again. Did the government reopen the public accounts and alter them for political purposes?

Madam Speaker, I wonder if it is normal to reopen the public accounts and doctor them. The public accounts are audited financial statements of the government, yet the Liberals are delaying the tabling of these accounts. We have out-of-control Liberal government spending, yet no accounting of over $600 billion of taxpayers' money. Why has the government not yet tabled the public accounts? Is it because they are too busy cooking the books?

  • Re: Bill C-2 
Madam Speaker, I am quite stunned by the hypocrisy of the members opposite. They talk about how important it is to get this bill passed immediately, after playing political games by proroguing Parliament and then calling an early election. If they had not called an early election, we would have been here in mid-September and could have passed this bill then. However, they interrupted Parliament with an election and then waited a full two months before recalling it. If the bill is so important, as the Liberals claim, why did they not recall Parliament immediately after the election? It took the United Kingdom six days to bring back its Parliament. It took the Liberal government two months. Why did it take so long?
