Mr. Speaker, I just said that, several months ago, we asked the RCMP and the Auditor General to do their work. In the case cited by the hon. member, they did do their work. The individual in question is presumed to have defrauded the government. If so, and if that individual is found guilty by the courts, he will have to suffer the consequences, which will in all likelihood be quite serious.
In the House of Commons on September 15th, 2003. See this statement in context.
