Liberal Senators Blocking Accountability Act
October 4.2006

Members' Statement

Mr. James Moore (Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam, CPC): Mr. Speaker, today is Day 105 of the Liberal Senate's foot dragging and filibuster of the toughest anti-corruption law in Canadian history. It is shameful that the Liberal Senate is deliberately delaying the passage of the accountability act after the House passed it in a mere 72 days.
Canadians remember the sponsorship scandal as a terrible stain on our country's history yet when Canada's new Conservative government acted immediately to clean up the Liberal mess and restore the public's trust in government, the Liberal Party has done nothing but play games.
Canadians want to know why the party of corruption has done nothing to help move forward the federal accountability act. Canadians want action. Canadians want and end to corruption and they deserve better than these games that are being played by the Liberal Party of Canada.
