Certainly there are thousands of contracts that go out, but thousands of contracts are not the subject of editorials in national newspapers. The National Post, for example, pointed out that you had business relations with CGI. Until 2004, you were their primary public contact for their share offerings. I do not know if you still have—and it is probably not all that necessary to know—shares in Societe Delphes, which was a subsidiary of Delphes Technology, which was a subcontractor of CGI.
The National Post—this is not being partisan—said that you as minister should welcome an investigation into this $400 million contract to review the bidding process, because the Fortier-CGI relationship was too close and cozy. Yet it appears that no real investigation was done. Now Canadian taxpayers are possibly on the hook for a $250 million lawsuit.
Why was the contract not suspended? Why was this issue not examined? We couldn't have avoided dealing with such a large lawsuit?
