Canadians are counting on you to give them a clean, honest government. We need an accountable government.

I think that we should obviously have good relations whenever possible with our closest ally and our biggest customer. I would hope to talk to the president very closely to start us on that track. But that's not going to take us off fighting on specific Canadian interests.

It's all part of the pattern. This is a story of scandal and corruption, investigations, refusals to take responsibility. If this government continues in office, this will continue.

Why, when the auditor-general condemned this practice in the sponsorship scandal, does this government still award contracts with no proper audit paper trail

How can we continue to prop up a government that is under criminal investigation

He's decided to support the Government. If he changes that view, look, I'm sure (we) will get together as quickly as possible.
