I would first like to thank our minister for coming before us. Mr. Day, you are here to speak to us today about solving the present problems and to clean up after the scandals that have taken place. But yesterday, the goal was different; we have talked about what took place under the previous liberal government. This is the reason we invited the minister who appeared before you did. So our discussion is in two parts: what we are doing to fix the problems—and my congratulations to you for that—and the scandal that happened when the Liberals were in power.
Ms. McLellan said some interesting things. First of all, she agreed with almost every witness we've had on the panels that there is no need for a public inquiry. That was the first thing she said.
Secondly, she indicated that she supported the approach you have taken. She said the following: “Mr. Day, the minister, discharged his responsibility by asking Mr. Brown to do what he did”. I admire her for her non-partisanship in recognizing your efforts.
She also recognized your efforts in implementing the O'Connor report. Can you tell us how the progress is going on the implementation of that report, Minister Day?
