Mr. Speaker, the assistant to the minister's executive assistant over at HRDC knew about the audit on October 20. It seems reasonable that her executive assistant must have also known. Who else knew: Her chief of staff or her executive secretary? If those people did know, why did they not tell the minister? Maybe they thought she was just a stoogey over at that department.
In the House of Commons on June 5th, 2000. See this statement in context.
