Madam Speaker, I would like to begin by thanking my colleague for her clear statement, which provided a timeline of events that, let us be honest, happened a very long time ago, and that the Liberals tried several times to sweep under the rug. I would like my colleague to tell us about the wrongdoing that was seen during her committee's study and the important recommendations that came out of it. Does she have one or two recommendations that she would like to bring to the attention of the House so that we can avoid this kind of disgraceful conflict of interest in the future? I am asking on behalf of the honest, hard-working citizens who pay taxes that end up being squandered on cronies. I would like her to tell us about it.

Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Calgary Shepard for his speech. I was listening to him carefully, and at one point he talked about the fact that we are here to work seriously on legislation for the real world. We are talking about the WE Charity scandal, a very important issue that we should have dealt with over a year ago. That was delayed through what I would call questionable political gamesmanship. It is a good thing that we are talking about it. I would like to ask a two-part question. First, in my colleague's opinion, after these three hours of debate, what will we get as an outcome, as accountability from the government and as changes in the future? Second, although we are dealing with an important issue, does he not think that it is a shame that we dropped the debate on the important bill that we were supposed to deal with today and on which the NDP-Liberal coalition slapped a gag order on us earlier? The people who were supposed to speak today will not. This has happened a few times in the last few weeks. I have a feeling that June is going to be a long month. I would like to hear my colleague's comments on this.
