Now I'm going to move to another area of much concern, and I want to thank the Auditor General again. It's the misappropriation of funds that we saw with the firearms registry, where we have the biggest law firm in the country, as the Auditor General said, 2,500 lawyers—and I know law firms in the private sector, and I'd bet my paycheque on it that if you had 10 people submit the issue to those law firms and seek their opinion on that, you would get opinions that were consistent and the same.
I am very disturbed. We have 2,500 lawyers in this justice department. We have a clear-cut answer that this is a misappropriation of funds. It's contrary to our Constitution. The people don't like the question, so they go running off and find another lawyer who says it's okay.
This is troubling to me, because I think if you get bad advice and poor legal advice, especially in government, it can lead to some very bad decisions and some very bad consequences. Am I off base to be somewhat concerned about the quality of the advice we're getting from this great big law firm?
