Mr. Speaker, the following memo from Richard Mongeau is funny, but it is not a joke:
As agreed, we have reviewed the spelling and punctuation of the Quebec regional files. In addition, we have gone over the suggestions from certain departments with Linda Cameron. This was done so as to keep costs as low as possible, as discussed with Roger on Wednesday, December 10.
How does the minister explain that the CIO feels the need to hire a lawyer of the calibre of Richard Mongeau to correct the spelling and punctuation of its documents?
