Mr. Speaker, it is absurd to suggest that the government has anything to cover up or hide.
Looking back at the process, I received a number of complaints. I gave those complaints to the chairperson of the board. The board recommended a course of action, namely an inquiry. The government, after thoughtful consideration of both the chairperson's and Mr. Schelew's response, suggested an inquiry which was started. Subsequent to the calling of that inquiry, Mr. Schelew tendered his resignation. It was the opinion of the Federal Court judge that the inquiry was moot and I accept his recommendation.
