Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the hon. member of the Bloc Quebecois on his reading the report of the Auditor General, particularly as regards the ministers' expenses. I sat for five years on the Committee of Public Accounts, and I know what he is talking about. But I am not sure he does. I think he forgot to mention that the Prime Minister and the Auditor General have undertaken a study on travel by ministers.
The Bloc Quebecois member referred in jest to the Challenger. Does the hon. member know where the Challengers are made? Should we stop manufacturing Challengers? What other means of transportation should the ministers use?
In conclusion, Mr. Speaker, the hon. member quoted something to this effect: "Some people-I do not know exactly to whom he was referring-said that the Liberal government betrayed them". I found such a comment rather strange, coming from the Bloc Quebecois, which, as a separatist party, is a traitor to this country, in my opinion.
