He offered his resignation, which has been accepted.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3372722\" data-originallang=\"en\">By contrast, on the other side, the NDP leader kept secret an offered bribe. Bribes are criminal offences. He kept a criminal offence secret for 17 years. Imagine how we could have avoided the corruption in Laval and Montreal, if he had the ability to speak out about what he knew?</p>",
