Charlie Angus NDP Timmins—James Bay, ON
I know. I couldn't get a sense from him if he had delegated authority from the Prime Minister or not.
I'm almost done here.
Mr. Housakos told the Toronto Star he thought this information was leaked because it was an inside job, an inside job that people are speculating came from people in your department. Do you have any awareness of why people on your staff would leak the fact that the Prime Minister's Office was meddling in Public Works?
Minister of Public Works and Government Services
Listen, the story is there. It is what it is. I think you're calling on me to answer questions. I'm answering questions. I won't speculate on why it's out there.
Charlie Angus NDP Timmins—James Bay, ON
You said he didn't have any bad blood, but you left that hanging in the air. I just want to clear the record.
Minister of Public Works and Government Services
No, he beat me, so there shouldn't be bad blood. No, absolutely not.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Diane Marleau
Do I have any other questions from any MPs?
That being said, we thank you for coming on such short notice.
We will adjourn the meeting to next Tuesday morning.
