Mr. Speaker, from incompetence to bad ethics, we have another Liberal minister found guilty of violating the Ethics Act, this time for giving a $23,000 contract to one of her best friends at a company called Pomp & Circumstance. It reminds us of the Prime Minister giving half a billion dollars to an organization called WE Charity that gave his family $500,000. Will the minister be held accountable? Will she be required to pay back the $23,000 in improper contracting that she gave out?

Mr. Speaker, the Minister of International Trade says she takes full responsibility for her actions. What does it mean to take full responsibility for one's actions in the House? It means doing something, not just apologizing, but assuming responsibility. She used her authority to award $20,000 worth of contracts to a Liberal friend. She is the fourth Liberal minister to be caught by the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner. He said, “There is simply no excuse for contracting with a friend's company”. Yes, she has apologized, but will she do the right thing and step down?
