I want to go back to the Phoenix pay system. That troubles me a lot. I've heard a lot of dramatic testimony.

I'm new here, as are the members of the new Bloc Québécois. My colleagues were not able to attend the meetings of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts. My colleagues may be uncomfortable about this. The Conservatives had implemented the Phoenix payroll system, and then the Liberals went ahead with it.

At the end of the day, we may have a scandalous fiasco, like the old gun registry or the sponsorship scandal. Are my fears justified?
