Just to be clear on this, I'm not asking Mr. Wex to table any sort of cabinet direction. I think at this point in time, if the IRB doesn't have a plan to address the inventory and can't table that to Parliament, that's probably very problematic. I would ask Mr. Wex to clarify if there is a plan to address that.
Just to my colleagues, as parliamentarians here, we should be asking Mr. DeCourcey whether or not the government has a plan to address this. The government keeps talking about resourcing.
Mr. Chair, I'll point out, too, that there was a Globe and Mail article about two weeks ago where the minister who is now in charge of this file said that the IRB inventory would be reduced, but then the IRB contradicted the minister and said it wouldn't.
I think in terms of addressing Mr. Wex's competency in filling a very serious role, I would like to know what his plan is. I would like to also evaluate that in terms of why the minister would contradict Mr. Wex's own department. I wouldn't think that information would be cabinet confidence. I think that it's basic operation of government that his staff at the IRB would have, and I would like to evaluate that as a parliamentarian.
