Ms. Lisa MacLeod: My question is to the Minister of Research and Innovation. The Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities was the former Minister of Research and Innovation. He posted his expenses online and they are current to December 2010. If the former minister could comply with the law and post his expenses online, why do you refuse? Or did he, in fact, steal all the forms from the office?

Hon. Glen R. Murray: It's starting to sound like a Monty Python skit over there. What was the Leader of the Opposition doing in Las Vegas with Dick Cheney? Was he getting hunting tips?

Maybe you need better research staff. I don't know what it is. God knows your nomination process is out of whack. You can't protect your own members.

Maybe you need to hire better research staff because you get a lot of money from the taxpayers of Ontario. I would offer to take the member for Nepean-Carleton to dinner. Unlike her leader, I won't charge taxpayers 87 bucks; I'll pick up the tab. I'll go through with you, at my expense, my expense account.

Maybe you need to get better researchers and get them off their butts, working for-
