Thank you.
Mr. Gomery, the truth is that all impropriety that happens at any point in time hurts not only the political party of the day but hurts our Parliament and hurts our system overall, and whether or not it was under Brian Mulroney or under a Liberal government, or whether or not it's the various affairs that this current government is involved in, this hurts us.
One of the things I take pride in is that our government, despite a very difficult time, made a very difficult decision, which was to ask you to look into this affair and ensure that it wouldn't happen again. Therefore, so that it's clear, I certainly can speak not just for myself but for our party, that we're happy to talk at any time, in any place, about your recommendations and the need for them to be implemented. I think it's essential that it happens.
I do not want to see my reputation or those of any parliamentarians hurt because we make the same mistakes again. We should learn from history and not be doomed to repeat it.
In that regard, whether or not it's fighting for a public complaints commissioner to be put in immediately, whether or not it's talking about the complaints the information commissioner has and the recommendations you've made in that regard that haven't been fulfilled, those key recommendations and those main recommendations that you talked about that haven't been implemented have to be. When we've put them forward, unfortunately we haven't gotten the progress that we want.
So I want to come back to this point just for a second, because it's crucial. We've heard from government members that they appreciate what you've said, but to be clear, you have never gotten a letter saying that. You've never received correspondence saying “We've read your report, we've considered your recommendations, we disagree with your recommendations, we're going to accept some, we're going to take another year to implement them.” You've received nothing back in terms of what this government intends to do with those recommendations. Is that correct?
