Over in the Senate, they are making front-page headlines, because of what? An ethics investigation into a Senator. And what is it that the Senator is supposed to have done that makes front-page headlines? It is a question of where has he been putting his hands. Has he been putting them on ladies in unwelcomed fashion? And here in the House, we have Members who have been putting their hands in the till. We have embezzlement. They are concerned with sexual harassment. That is fine. That is well and good. But we should be concerned about embezzlement, the charges that have been raised against Members of this House. And if somebody is putting their hands in the public till, are we or are we not concerned about doing something about it?
