Here's Joyal in his own words from last week's Senate debates: The Senate Allegations of Liberal Slush Fund [Hon. Serge Joyal: Hono... |

| What annoys me is that none of the Liberals ever call them on it. |

| Yea, some people support them. But a lot of people don't support them, and actually believe they are harmful. Dion and the vast majority of his caucus agreed with the second group, and I think it was the right decision. |

| Obviously, you didn't talk to any who were families of the Air India bombing victims. Actually, I've dealt with quite a few of them. This was quite important to the trial, to them, and a great deal of Indo-Canadians. Actually, I think that's one of the most distasteful things about this entire deba... |

| Personally, I'm glad the Liberals voted against these provisions. I've talked to a lot of people who tell me that although they hadn't been used, they were used to intimidate people. Were their people in the Liberal party who would have extended them? Yes. But the fact is the leader and his members ... |

| The fund was put in place by a committee that contained both Liberals and Conservatives. It was decided that rather than simply distributing the funds among the offices equally, they would create a special fund so that Senators with extra projects would be required to at least have them approved by ... |
