Thank you.
Mr. Lagueux, unlike Mr. Coyle, who considers parliamentary oversight and review to be very important measures, you do not mention that at all.
I do not necessarily want to pick up where my colleague Mr. Coderre left off. Nevertheless, I stated a few weeks ago in La Presse that I had the impression that parliamentarians weren't welcomed in the tendering process.
I don't think that you are part of that group. I called it the old boys club. It is often a group of military officials who get together. I also know that each time defence contractors want to obtain a contract or part of a contract, they tend to call lobbyists rather than parliamentarians, and that worries me to some degree.
I would like you to reassure us on that. I would like to know if asking parliamentarians to exercise greater oversight runs counter to your philosophy, or, if in your opinion, it is an essential part of the process.
