Mr. Speaker, with reference to the first part of the question, I only found out the details of the settlement on Friday of last week. That was the day the judge suggested the inquiry should not proceed.
With respect to the IRB, I do not believe the party across the way is concerned about building up this institution, but we are on this side of the House. It would be grossly unfair for the hon. member and his party to suggest that because of the alleged conduct of one individual the entire institution should be undercut or undermined. I said that reforms to the institution will be coming in the early part of next year as part of the agency and program review which is being conducted by the government.
